SUGGESTED USE

The smoky flavour of chipotle chillies lend themselves to making a delicious chilli pesto using red bell peppers, garlic, parmesan cheese and pine nuts and as much of our chipotle chillies as you like to add. Chipotle chillies particularly compliment beef, chicken and pork dishes and add a delicious spiced, smokey flavour and heat to roasted vegetables such as sweet potato and butternut squash. The chillies can be ground and added to curries, chilli-con-carne and a whole variety of spicy dishes. You can use chilli to liven up just about any savoury dish. Add a light dusting of chilli powder and cumin to make extra spicy potato wedges or roasted vegetables for a spicy twist. A little chilli can also enhance the flavour of egg and cheese dishes.
