Make sure you avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth to prevent any irritation, and wash your hands with soap and water when you are done working with the pepper. If you want a spicier dish, leave the seeds in the jalapeno. For less spice, remove the seeds. You can use summer squash, diced yams or green peas instead of the okra.
