Yesterday (Sunday), I started to prepare a brand new chili recipe. This recipe calls for the use of real dried chilies and no chili powder. So I got some dried chilies (1 pound to be exact). The recipe calls for New Mexican chilies but the store only had a small amount of those, so I supplemented with anchos and red chilies. The latter of those two being incredibly hot.
I spent much of yesterday taking of the stems and removing the seeds of the small red chilies. I should have taken this as a sign. The New Mexican chilies were much larger, so there were less of them. Anyway I prepared the chili paste and tasted it. At first it has a great taste, then the heat hits you right in jingle bells. This stuff is going to be hot. Its going to be 9 alarm chili!
I decided to go ahead and make it because I'm not a wuss. So tonight I will finish the batch and let you all know how it comes out.

By the time you get all the other stuff in there it won't be so hot. I assume it is the recipe out of the BBQ book.
ReplyDeletethat was me. Rich was still logged in.
ReplyDeleteIt came out pretty hot, but you are right, not as hot as I once thought. Still, it makes your eyes water and nose run a bit. All in all, its very good.
