She's been to the market and bought chillis - lots of the damn things - good girl :cool:

These came to the princely sum of £1, god bless Lewisham market. They are hot but not inedible so I think de-seeded and roasted they might just be edible by themselves. I'm thinking stuffed with cream cheese and maybe try and breadcrumb them, chilli con carne tonight, stuffed with meat maybe, curry in the week, er and now I'm out of ideas... what else can I do with them?

Have an arty shot for your troubles :)

Yum, they do look good.
 
Chilli Chutney
This is another simple little recipe that tastes great with cheese and biscuits or in any sandwich!

Ingredients:
about 7 small chopped chillies
2 large onions
100ml of malt vinegar
half a teaspoon of garam masala
4 table spooons of brown sugar
1 clove of garlic
500 ml of water


Method:
Add all of the contents except the vinegar to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for about 30 mins.

Add the vinegar and simmer with the lid off for a further 20 minutes to reduce down some of the liquid. Place in clean jars and boil to steralise.

This chutney is delicious served with cheese on crackers or in sandwiches/toasties.

That's a brilliant idea, I'll make a cooking thread about that :)

How much flesh do they have on them?

You could do them with langoustine in an Italian dish.
Quite a bit of flesh, they could be good with seafood because they aren't killer hot.

Ah man! something with see food would be AMAZING! Something along the lines of chilli kingf prawns with a hot dip could be so good (i think the last guy on this weeks come dine with me might have done something along those lines)

Do your self a home made chilli ketchup too :)

Urm also invent your own hot and spicy fajita recipy using a few of them.

If you get stuck do a hot stur fry too, thats usually pretty good
 
Ok, this was a bad idea starting this thread. Too many great ideas and I'm getting hungry now :D

So far I've got a chargrilled chilli sweating in a bag ready for the skin to come off, just to see what it's like, 6 chillis roasting in a little olive oil, some roasting with peppers and the chilli chutney. Pics to follow :)
