Method
Slit each chilli lengthways down one side only, leaving the stem on and both ends joined
Scrape out the seeds and the white membrane with a small spoon. Most of the heat lives in the membrane, not the seeds
Soak the chopped onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze it dry
Mix the onion, tomato, lemon juice, oil, salt and mitmita
Pack the filling into each chilli through the slit, pressing it in with a small spoon
Chill 30 minutes before serving

From the kitchen
Take the membrane out properly. A senig karya that takes the top of your head off has failed at its job, which is to be eaten whole in one or two bites
Squeeze the onion dry or the filling weeps and runs straight back out of the chilli
Large mild chillies only. The small hot ones are impossible to fill and unpleasant to eat whole
Served beside tibs, beside kitfo, and on a beyaynetu tray, where it does the job a pickle does elsewhere
