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 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

    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...

    Chilli Con Carne and its variations

    There was a little bit of discussion in the 'What did you cook today' thread about the Chilli Con Carne and whether to use cubed or minced beef.
