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 Lobster Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino

    Thought I'd take a departure from Asian dishes and throw out this one. That doesn't mean this isn't chilified to the max though! It uses very hot Birds Eye chillies plus dried chili flakes. What's special about this method (since Aglio e Olio is usually a simple throw-together dish) is that...

    This is comforting and hearty Korean home cooking and has three sources of chili - Gochujang (chili paste), Gochugaru (chili powder) and fresh sliced chili. Once you've gathered all the ingredients, it's pretty much a simple one pot stew. I like it served over Dangmyeon which are Korean...

    Recipe Sichuan Stir-Fried Chili Prawns

    Kicking off my entries with a Chinese recipe. Since the theme of the challenge is chili, I decided on Sichuan cuisine, known for its fiery flavours and the characteristic 'mala' taste which is a hot and numbing combination of Sichuan pepper and chilis. This recipe has three sources of spice -...

    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...

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

Ingredients: 1 bottle...
