What to Do with Chillis

[NOG]

My son gave me a packet of Chilli seeds so I had to plant them.

Now I have four plants of Green Chilli that are turning Red but I don't know what to do with them.

Any ideas?

Anyone have a recipy for a sweet chilli sauce?

I take mine to work & give them to one of the guys at work (Arshad Ali) then his wife (who is a magician) turns them into Samosa's & chilli dip !!!

Excellant

I have put a recipe for chilli jelly in another thread 'help- glass jars' - you might like to try that?! I'm afraid I don't know how to move it from that thread and I can't retype it 'cos I've had a couple of glasses of wine and my fingers don't work properly!!
Enjoy

Did it affect your ironing skills Vicki?

If they are mild try stuffing them with cream cheese like jalapino poppers. just grill them until lightly brown on top. serve on a bed of salad leaves - great starter or party snack.

Also dry some out, they flake up great and you can use them as a seasoning on nearly everything, chicken, stake, fish etc.

mmm, I like the idea of stuffing them - that sounds delish!

And I thought it was only me who couldnt face the ironing without a certain "treat"! Hey girls, we deserve it! dexterdog

Nick how do I get my pile of Chilli to Arshad Ali's wife. We all like Samosa's & chilli dip.

I took mine into work but my PA told me where to put them and it wasn't in a Samosa....

Note to self.......Next time interviewing for PA don't pick the scary one.

Lol bet it would sting a bit too

RE the chilli jelly: the recipe says bring to a rolling boil for not for how long. Has anyone tried it out yet, as I would have thought that you need to test for some kind of setting point before taking it off the heat.

Advice welcome!

not sure! The recipe just says 'bring to a rolling boil and then allow to cool 20 mins'. I'll try and find out!
