Chilli Pepper Recipe FAQs
What can I do with chilli peppers?
You can use chilli peppers in any of the recipe collections available from HelloFresh. If you have more than you need, then consider freezing them or turning them into a chilli sauce, so they’ll keep for longer.
How do you prepare chilli peppers for cooking?
Protect your eyes and use rubber gloves for stronger chillies. Slice the top off and discard it. Next, cut the chilli into sections from top to bottom, finely chopping in the other direction to create small, uniform pieces.
Can you freeze fresh chillies?
Yes, you can freeze fresh chillies. Put them whole into a sealable bag and expel as much air as possible from it before freezing.
Should I remove the seeds from chillies?
Doing so will reduce their flavour intensity, which depends entirely on your personal spice preference. It is a wise move if you’re cooking for guests or children who aren't used to chilli heat.
How do you remove seeds from Thai chilli peppers?
Remove the top of the chilli and then slice it in half, from top to bottom, to expose the inner part. Scrape the seeds away from the chilli using a teaspoon. Don’t use a finger, as it can cause painful irritation.
How can you tone down the heat if your dinner becomes too spicy?
If you accidentally add too many chillies to your pan, you can easily balance the heat by stirring in a spoonful of dairy, such as soured cream or natural yoghurt. The fats in dairy naturally neutralise capsaicin, which is the chemical compound responsible for the fiery burn. Adding a splash of fresh lime juice or throwing in extra chopped vegetables will help dilute the intense spice levels and can also save your meal.
