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 Mussels with Fennel and Scotch Bonnet

    This recipe is so easy that it feels like cheating. Fennel is great with any fish or seafood - add fruity, hot Scotch Bonnet chilli and let the flavours dance. You could use another type of chilli if you can't get Scotch Bonnet but I particularly like the fruity notes combined with the aniseed...

    Recipe Melon Salad with Gungo Peas, Sumac and Scotch Bonnet

    Salad with Scotch Bonnet chillies? Well, if you know anything about me you will know I'll eat chillies with (and in) everything - and salad is no exception.

    Recipe Chicken Chili

    I’m so glad I didn’t decide to make this as a white chicken chili. To do that, I would have had to leave out two of my favorite things in a chili: chilies (duh) and tomatoes. Besides being ridiculously healthy, it’s also pretty and very tasty. By the way, that’s tzatziki sauce. I could just as...

    Recipe Chili-Lime Burger

    Check the web, and you'll see many recipes for chili-lime chicken, chili-lime shrimp...even chili-lime tofu! If this is the first chili-lime beef recipe, I'll be shocked, but it's the first I've seen. The sirloin I ground for this is absurdly lean (something on the order of 93%/7%). This is...

    Recipe Tequila Lime and Coriander Chicken

    There are plenty of recipes for Tequila lime chicken out there - but this is what I do, using Scotch bonnet chillies and coriander (cilantro).

    Recipe Tamales with Red Chili and Chicken Filling

    I should have doubled the sauce recipe or made Tex-Mex chili gravy. We still had tamales left after the sauce was gone. I didn't have any Arbols, so I used Japones. Ingredients 6 medium guajillo chilis, stemmed and seeded 3 medium ancho chilis, stemmed and seeded 3 chilis de arbol, stemmed...

    Recipe ABTs

    I don't use a recipe for these. I just eyeball the ingredient amounts. The proportions are up to you. This is a "Mexican" version. Many folks cut the jalapenos in half, stuff each half and then wrap each half in bacon. They just lay them on the smoker grate. I prefer mine whole and cooked up...
