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.

I thought I'd spice things up by frying the gnocchi until crispy and making a simple chilli sauce. This is intended as a starter. Recipe serves 4 - 6. Ingredients 400 ml...

    Recipe Chilli with Black Beans (with Vegan option)

    Black beans bring a wonderful smoky flavour to chilli and I think they work much better than traditional red kidney beans.

    How do you build your burger?

    I tend to build my burgers the same with only minor amendments. This one was base, green oak lettuce, beef patty, ketchup/balsamic vinegar (70/30), pickled jalapeños, mid section, sliced tomatoes, raw onion and then the lid. Sometimes I add a fried or poached egg before the lid.

    Recipe Surf and Turf Aromatic Fried Rice with Orange, Ginger and Chilli

    This is a dish best made from leftover rice and chicken. For preference, the rice needs to be cooked in advance and left overnight.
