I bought a small chilli pepper plant in the summer, threw it in a pot and left it outside. It went mad and has been covered in chillis; I brought the plant inside a couple of weeks ago to help them ripen and they just keep on coming. So far I have around 20 harvested with another 30 to come. No idea of the variety but I can report that I thinly sliced a small one to garnish a bowl of pho and it nearly blew my head off.
Nobody in my house likes spicy food, somuch as I’d love to cook up some chilli con carne, curries and so on I’ll be the only one eating them and since we tend to eat the same meal together, this doesn’t really work for us.
I wondered about things like a chilli sauce or chutney, which I could use as I needed. Any recipes or other ideas? I am freezing most of the fruits as they ripen to red although I have dried a few.
