Hi,

Bought some scotch bonnets because i love the flavour but have just realised i have no idea what to do with them. Anyone got any good recipes? I have the following in my kitchen at the minute:

Chicken
Beef Mince
Onions
Rice
Pasta
Chopped Tomatoes
Loads of different Flours, baking powder, yeast, milk
Mushrooms
Plum Tomatoes
Paprika, Cumin, Celery salt, basil, mixed herbs, ginger, oregano, back pepper, salt, soy sauce, white vinegar

Any help appreciated

Cheers Rhys
 
Curried Mutton/Goat?

INGREDIANTS. serves 4


2 Lb. mutton. I use either shoulder or back chop. (Get it chopped up!)
1 Teaspoon black pepper
3 Tablespoons medium Curry powder (preferably CARRIBEAN style,)
1 tablespoon hot curry powder (same brand)
2 Cloves minced garlic
1 Onion, finely diced
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, minced or 2 or 3 if you like it hot.
2 Sprigs thyme or 2 pinches dried thyme
2 pints of stock (I use 1 chicken and 1 beef stock cube each)



Fry onion gently for 5 mins.

Add garlic, fry for 1 min,

Add meat and fry for 3 mins.

Add curry powder and black pepper, peppers and thyme, fry for 1 min.

Add stock. Stir and cover then cook gently for 2 to 3 hours. Remove lid for last hour. Test a bit of meat to see if soft.

Add a little more stock if needed.

The trick is getting the gravy (liquid) right, too much and it is not as flavoursome, too little, you get way more flavour, but less gravy.


Its tastes better if left to cool down, put in fridge and then eaten next day or day after.

serve with rice and peas
 
Take some seeds out, sow them and join the fun on our chilli growing thread. You can have all the chillies you need then.

Even use some for scotch bonnet ice-cream. lovely stuff.
 
Cheers for the ideas

Stuff them with soft blue cheese and eat them as an appetiser.

I will just say this was amazing and incredibly lethal. Probably should have taken the seeds out!
