CHILLI

Chilli ....dried or fresh is  the  'go to condiment ' , in many parts of the world .
(In all my years in the parental home Jakiw had  fresh chilli on the plate , it cured all ailments or maybe the fear of being made to eat it cured all ills.)
My youngest son Dale , eats very few meals without chilli and seeds . (it is hard to explain the addictive flavour of chilli  to people that prefer softer tastes)
Chillies are most often associated with Mexican , Indian , Asian and African cooking.
An indication of the heat level in  chillies can be estimated on the size of the chilli , the smaller the chilli the hotter it will be.
All meals can be enhanced by heat and taste of chilli .
Dried chillies can be used whole or crumbled while cooking .
Sliced fresh chillies  can be  used in stir fries  , salads  and garnishes.
Dried chillies add heat to stir fries and curries .
Dried chillies add zest to homemade pickles , chutneys and relishes .
Dried chillies can be added to bean dishes and guacamole , also great in marinades , sauces and dressings .
