Chilli flakes homemade
Hey Gents
Yes I know it's supposed to be about sauces.... but where else do I put this?
(Mods feel free to move this to another area as needed)
Seems our local bird population has been into the birdseye chillies recently.
I had a few plants coming up without planting.
Being the avid gardener that I am it took me a few months to pull out the unwanted plants.
Left a couple for the kitchen.
But instead of wasting the chillies I thought.... Chillie flakes.
Can't be that hard can it?
Chilli flakes
Pick
Spead out and roast/toast in an oven on low heat 100 C or less until bone dry.
Remove all the stems and any unwanted bits
Put through a food processor.... not too much chopping though... just enough to break them all up.
Chilli flakes!!!!
Smells great, almost nutty when roasting and intensifys the flavour.
Recommend gloves though.... still burning a bit this morning....

Great work FMS!
I don't like really hot chili I'd probably deseed them myself.

In an oven on low heat
cooks shorthand
When re-reading it I see the funny side of what was written.
Have now changed it.
Thanks Chargrilled didn't realise I was a comedian

Re: Chilli flakes homemade
Looks good fms,
I also do that a few times. Depending on what type of chilli it is.
Some I like to make elaborate jewellery out of and wear them till they dry.

Re: Chilli flakes homemade
So what do you put the chillies on when smoking them, what wood, temp and how long?dales133 wrote:[

Not that I'm interested or anything....

I think red suits you.
Can't see my Missus agreeing to wearing one of those though..

I just put them on a wire cake rack so they had a bit of air getting around them and put them on with a handful of hickory chips and shut the bottom vent almost completely. I'd done a pork neck before I put them on so temps were low anyway .
Be far better even lower on an electric smoker tho

Re: Chilli flakes homemade
I've got a few chillies on my plant at the moment so thought I'd make some flakes out of them. These ghost chillies are in the oven right now:

Re: Chilli flakes homemade
I just use my Food Dehydrator it quick and easy put the chillies in set and come latter and they are nice and dry, I them zip them in the food processer for quick pluse and it done. I've done a few lots of Ghost Chillies aka Bhut Jolokia and man you don't need a lot I've got mate that loves it on his pizza, to hot for me. I also done a lot of habaneros and I make them dried without seeds and that what I put on my mexican pizza. MM
