Very good! Don't let the habanero (a very hot pepper) scare you too much. It seems to add more flavor than heat, as long as you only pierce it with a fork as instructed rather than chopping it up, which would expose all of the hot membrane. You can take a taste halfway into simmering, and remove the pepper sooner if it gets too hot for you :)
