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.

    This is super easy to make. You can use left over cooked sweet potato and other than the deep frying, there is no other cooking required for the potato balls I'm not really a fan of sweet potato, but here their sweetness is offset by ginger and chilli and a sharp dip which suits my taste...

    Recipe Peas and potato curry

    This is not the usual idea of a curry; it has very little liquid, although it is definitely not dry, and has a slightly lemony taste. Any "heat" depends on which chillies you use. It can be used as an accompaniment to other vegetable or meat dishes, or on its own with chappatis and a cucumber...

    Recipe Samosa Omelette

    I started out with the idea of making @Francesca's Spanish Potato Omelette, and then things went off the rails a bit. How about some onion? Okay. What about some garlic? Of course. I found myself steering down a path from Spain to India, and - with potatoes at the core - it only made sense to...

    Orecchiette con cime di rapa/Italian pasta with broccoli rabe

    Orecchiette (little ears) is a typical fresh pasta from Puglia, a south region known as the heel of Italy. They are cooked in so many ways, but usually in Italy when you say Orecchiette, immediately we associate (at least mentally) with broccoli rabe/cime di rapa.

    Recipe Crispy Semolina Gnocchi with Chilli Sauce

    I looked at lots of recipes for semolina gnocchi and most seemed to use baked gnocchi with grated cheese or a tomato sauce. 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...

    Do you like chillies? I absolutely love them. And I happen to know they affect the 'hind-brain' and can produce a feel good factor. Evidence can be provided...

    Pedernales River Chili

    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. Here, I've used specialist dried chillies (Aji Limon) but more often than not I just use hot chilli powder. Browning the meat isn't necessary, which is something I learned...

    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. And if you have some leftover cooked chicken its a great way to use it too. But of course, you can cook this from scratch. Just allow a good period of cooling time...
