The versatile chilli

in powerhousecreatives •  6 years ago 

Not everyone likes chillies, but for myself, I love to have them in the garden ready to be picked whenever I need to put a little bit of "zing" into a recipe.

Chillies can be used in many ways, so I thought I would share some the ways that I use them:

Dried chillies can be stored for ages so that one can still have them during winter - I put mine in an air tight container away from direct sunlight.
I crush up the dried chillies and put into jars so that I have chilli flakes ready to sprinkle into pasta dishes, stir fries, soups etc.

Fresh chillies are wonderful for curries, stirfries as well as salads.
I also make a chilli and garlic sauce which is wonderful on everything. - to make it, I finely chop up the chillies and garlic and some tomatoes - you can also add some herbs, and then gently saute these ingredients in some olive oil until it thickens slightly.
Cool and bottle and keep in the fridge - the longer it stands, the more the flavour will develop.

Chillies are very good for us - they improve circulation and are full of vitamin C.

Howdy there lizziesworld! Chilis are so wonderful and versatile, I like the way you dry them out, crush them and use them as flakes for seasoning, very smart!
