chilli/chili/chile peppers

Chilli peppers (of all colours) are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes.
The chilli pepper (also chile, chile pepper, chili pepper, or chili) is the berry-fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum which are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chilli peppers are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes. Capsaicin and related compounds known as capsaicinoids are the substances giving chilli peppers their intensity when ingested or applied topically.

    Recipe Rice, Feta & Sweetcorn Stuffed Peppers

    You don’t really need to use purple rice to make this. White rice will suffice! But it looks so pretty I couldn’t resist and in truth, I had some purple rice leftover from making Purple Rice Salad with Tuna, Egg and Asparagus. The sweet taste of the peppers and corn contrast with the salty...

    Recipe Smoky Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

    This is something of a discovery for me. This sauce has such a vibrant red colour, the texture is velvety and thick and yet its totally fat free and consequently low calorie.

    Recipe Arroz Con Pollo Verde

    The Spiciest Part of a Fresh Chilli Pepper

    Recipe Chicken Curry with Methi Leaves

    Mainly cooked from freezer contents! The frozen methi leaves are an excellent product. 'Methi' is fenugreek which in Western cooking is mainly used in seed form. The leaves are wonderful and very pungent. The way I made this was as a virtually fat free curry, as I used caramelised onions cooked...

    Recipe Chilli-Cheese Loaf-Cake

    I call this a loaf-cake because its a bit like a cross between bread and a heavy cake. It goes well with salad for a nice lunch but its tasty enough to eat on its own (especially toasted).
