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 Chilli Dark Chocolate Cake

    What’s better than a chocolate cake? Well, a chilli chocolate cake, better then if chocolate is the dark one. Just a pinch of chili pepper, it has to be only slightly tantalising, without overdoing. Spices in general should help the taste to enhance, not overwhelming it. You need 20 cm cake...

    Recipe Frito Pie with West Texas Chili

    We made this back at the end of January 2020 and I didn't take a picture of it for some reason. It was delish though! You can make a portable version by emptying out a bag of Fritos, then layering the chips, chili, cheese, and garnishes to refill the bag. You can use the big bags for 2 or 3...

    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. I used it here with chicken - I simply added chunks of chicken breast to the sauce and simmered gently until the chicken...

    Recipe Arroz Con Pollo Verde

    The inspiration for this dish is a popular appetizer, a poblano pepper, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon, then baked until it's all gooey crispy. I buy poblanos and roast them in the oven, then seed, peel and chop and put them in tiny ziplock bags in the freezer. Here's what...

    The Spiciest Part of a Fresh Chilli Pepper

    Whist preparing a few chillis for my pizza today I was reminded of the ongoing discussions that have ensued regarding the spiciest part of the 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). I know this is a bit of a vague recipe - the exact quantities of the vegetables aren't specified but you...
