Chilli tips!

[PK99]

Struggling to get that one without spending as much again on postage, distinct lack of this stuff in the shops - is La Chinata as good?
And there's 3 types, sweet, bitter-sweet and hot

no need for mail order...
Barts spices do hot and sweet versions - try waitrose.
Sainsbury do a tinned pimenton

You'll be absolutely fine with La Chinata - its proper DOP stuff from La Vera. I only bought the Santa Domingo one because I liked the tin!

I'd agree with Velvet Curtain - go for the sweet one.

Edit: looks as if Sainsbury stocks La Chinata.

Got to get me some of that!

La Chinata from Sainsbos is the one I use.

All over it, so to speak.

Heston did a Chilli in his In Search of Perfection series.

It takes about 6 months to prepare...

The chilli tasting was fun, like the look of the sweetcorn muffins too!

The perfect chilli...

1 onion chopped
400g minced beef
1tbsp tomato puree
Can chopped tomatoes
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
1 dried habanero chilli (very hot) chopped
2 dried chipotle chillies chopped (add a smoky flavour)
1 oxo cube
Sometimes for extra heat I add a squirt of chilli puree and a fresh chilli or 2 (I love chillies)
Bung it all together and cook for an hour. Makes a hot and spicy chilli

Grated Green & Black dark chocolate - you don't need much, but makes an amazing difference.

I put way more cumin in than that, couldn't tell you how much more, I just keep piling it in until it's just right!

The taste was GOOD! We had it with curly fries, cheese and sour cream.

How does one make curly chips? And, more importantly, why?

[QUOTE 2893502, member: 259"]We got a curly fry cutter in the US. It was only about $10. I don't know why, but our kids really like them.[/quote]
This thread is useless without pics...

Freezer cabinet at Tesco I believe. Why? Good question.

They're sort of Cajun with paprika and other nice things on them. To be honest I've never bought them before I bought some on a whim last week.
