Anyone else growing these? If so, what will you do with the chillies when they're ripe? I've got six plants all happily fruiting but am now wondering why I bothered to grow them in the first place because they're just too darn hot!
I'll be giving mine to our Bangladeshi plotholders - they think they are just right!
Have you got a photo of yours?
... ;D ;D..yes grown them..this year I grow naga morich..but same story otherwise..hot, hot, hot.. ;D
If I use them fresh..I cut them in half or quarters and drop them in cupfull of olive oil...then I use the oil for cooking or adding extra heat on food on plate....sparingly.. ;)
Most of them I dry and then they are bit easier to use...just little snip with scissors and into food while cooking..job done...no need for putting heating on for that evening.. ::)
No Bangladeshi neighbours unfortunately, boo hoo. Like the chilli oil idea. Thanks GL.
if you want i can tke the chillis off your hands, i love them
Hi. There are probably a million and one things to do with your excess chillies. When I have an abundance (which is usually every year) I make Ristras with varieties from different heat levels and give them as gifts. I had a freezer-full last year but the missus accidently thawed them! So, I was straight over to the local Raj restaurant with them and got a free take-away! Now, I give my excess to them at the end-of-season and claim a family meal! ;D
