I cut them up in about 1/8th inch slices, place them in a small bowl, cover them with some salt, grind them down with a spoon, add chopped onions and viniger. Dip your meat into it as you eat. Some folks use some lime juice in there as well. chuck

I use them whole in chili, goulash, spaghetti, and Chinese stir fry. I always dry them and crack them open to use seeds on pizza.
