Growing your own hot peppers can be really rewarding, especially if you make the most of your harvest to elevate your cooking and meals. Join me to see 3 simple and tasty recipes to use hot and spicy peppers - from chili flakes to chili oil and chili jam!
I'll also give a bonus tip on how to overwinter your peppers plants :) Hope you enjoy.
Recipes:
Chili flakes - wash and roughly chop peppers, place in dehydrator at 55c for 8-12 hours or until dry and brittle. Blend in food processor until desired flake size. Keep lid on blender for 5 minutes before opening to avoid a cloud of chili dust coming at you. Alternatively, crush the dry chilies with rolling pin on chopping board. Store in a clean and dry jar.
Chili Oil:
Ingredients:
2 cups neutral oil (like vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil)
2 tablespoons chili flakes (adjust to taste depending on heat of the chilies)
6 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons ginger (minced)
4 green onions - chopped
2 cardamom pods (cracked slightly to release flavor)
2 bay leaves
4 cloves
1 small cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
Salt to taste (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon)
Method:
Toast the Spices:
Toast the cardamom pods, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon bark, and coriander seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Infuse the Oil:
In a pot, add the oil, garlic, ginger, and green onions.
Add the toasted spices to the oil mixture.
Turn the heat to medium-high, and gently cook for around 10-15 minutes, ensuring the garlic and ginger don’t burn, but release their flavors.
Reduce the heat if necessary, keeping an eye on the garlic and onions to avoid browning too quickly.
After the flavors have infused into the oil, strain the hot oil mixture directly into a bowl containing the chili flakes and a little salt.
Stir well to combine and allow the oil to cool down before storing.
Once cooled, transfer the chili oil to a sterilized glass jar.
Chili Jam:
Ingredients:
8 chillies roughly chopped (but depends of heat of your chillies)
12 cloves garlic - peeled
160g fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
2 makrut lime leaves
Finely grated zest of 2 large lemons
2½ cups sugar
½ cup water
½ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
Method:
Sterilize 2 jars with hot water and place in oven at 120c.
Place a small plate in the fridge.
Purée the chillies, garlic, ginger, and makrut lime leaves to a rough paste. Place in a pot with the lemon zest, water, rice wine vinegar, and sugar.
Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then boil for about 10 minutes until reduced.
Once it looks jammy, spoon a tsp onto the cold plate from the fridge to see if it sets to desired jam consistency.
Spoon the jam into the hot sterilized jars and seal.
