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 Prawn (Shrimp) Patia

    This recipe was always a fixture at my local curry inn, back many years ago in London. It is, however, an authentic Indian recipe, and comes from the Parsees, who fled Persia 1,300 years ago to settle in Gujarat. The sweet & sour gives it away. Ingredients: (For 4 servings) 450 gms peeled prawns...

    Recipe Michelada with sangrita

    Here's a nice little Mexican number for the day after too many tequilas. Or too few.

Ingredients: 1 bottle...

    Recipe Black eyed bean salad

    Ground coriander seed, coriander leaves (cilantro) and clementine add a delicate aromatic flavour to this simple salad. You could substitute a different type of bean but I think the firm texture and nutty, earthy flavour of black eyed beans works well here. Ingredients 1 400g can black eyed...

    Chile/Chili/Chilli peppers

    Hot peppers have long been a passion of mine. I've always enjoyed anything spicy/hot, and once I started cooking hot sauces, my curiosity definitely got the better of me; I started studying chile peppers. I bought a book called "The whole chile pepper book" by a bloke called Dave de Witt, way...

    Recipe Andean Hot Sauce

    Here's something you'd never dream of. A hot sauce - made with milk! Traditionally it's made with the buds of the maguey, or agave succulent. I doubt they'll be available in other places so I'm not including them in the recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 lt fresh milk 200 mls buttermilk 150 gms hot...

    Chillies and Chutney

    My OH came home with this container of chutney a few weeks ago. It's a brand we've bought previously and I'm sure we've had that flavour and temperature before as well. But one thing I do know is that it very definitely wasn't solid dried red chillies last time around. The top of the jar is...

    Recipe Piri piri chicken

    It's a very popular dish in my part of the world. I would assume it made its way here via Portugal and Mozambique. The chilli's that are normally used are small hot ones. Dried or fresh, but anything goes as long as it is fairly "neutral" if you can say that about chili's :) No Surinam yellow...
