This Chilli Con Carne Recipe I’ve named, Ole Red. Why? Well it’s because I wanted it to reflect as close an approximation to the old Chill Recipes that came from Texas back when the whole Chilli thing began, it was known as a “Bowl of Red” back then.
And so comes a time in every mans life when they decide they eat too much red meat and therefore must make some effort to change. Not that they want to do, really. Chilli V is not only my first vegetation Chilli Con Carne, it’s a 5 Bean Chilli. It’s also the 5th recipe I’ve […]
Pickling, things. Anything. I love pickled things, especially Jalapeno, Gherkins and Onions. Over the years I’ve bought many jars of all those things and more besides. But that’s only because I didn’t know how stupidly easy it was to be doing the pickling myself.
Black Peppercorn Sauce is an enabler for me. I love Black Pepper. It will always have a special place in my heart, it was my first “spice”. Once discovered I’d cover most of my food growing up with it. I guess it was my first introduction to bringing a little “heat” to my meals before […]
A rice by many names. Mexican Red Rice, Spanish Rice, or Arroz Rojo is a good side dish to have in your repertoire – It’s quick and simple to knock up but very tasty and goes with most other spicy dishes as an accompaniment. If I make a Chilli-Con-Carne to have with rice, this is […]
This is my second recipe born out of the idea of making a “family friendly” Chilli-Con-Carne, one that wouldn’t take anyone’s head off or melt anyone’s face off. I’d been looking at making one with Guajllo chillies. Guajillo is the dried form of the Mirasol Chilli, it’s one of those name things again. It’s a […]
Enchiladas are a traditional Mexican dish, You get a Tortilla and fill it with whatever you want, in this case we’re making Chicken Enchiladas. When you’ve got it all put together than cover it in a spicy / savory sauce and cheese. Admittedly, I don’t know how much the cheese comes into traditional Enchiladas making […]
This Chilli-Con-Carne recipe was born from the idea that I really liked the taste of chipotle but rarely had it outside of various sauces in my cupboard. So, I decided to change that with another slow cooked chilli recipe. It’s also an ideal meal to make for both my family and myself as it isn’t […]
Chilli Oil is always something good to have handy, it comes in useful for all kinds of things, unfortunately most shop bought oils are, well, weak. Fortunately, it’s really not that hard to make to your own tastes.
I know it’s not “Chilli”, but, we all still love our Curries, right? And, you do use Chillies in them, so why not? This is one of my own creation, I guess if you wanted to give it a name then you could call it Vindaloo as it’s tomato based, but, I just call it […]
