Fire in the belly
We have chillies growing in the garden! They’ve finally turned red so I plucked two pods and threw them into my hot pot to spice things up!
Hot pot recipe (for lazy people):
- 1 litre chicken/vegetable or beef stock. Use any ready made liquid stock or boil your own stock with chicken bones.
- Use any vegetables you like; carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes, peas or potatoes.
- Chop into cubes.
- Combine everything into the pot. Boil and stir..
- Add half a jar of tomato paste
- Add garlic salt and pepper to taste.
- A dash of Worcestershire sauce
- Throw in two handfuls of pasta shells. Or you can also use mixed beans or lentils
- Add fresh parsley and thyme.
Serve with buttered rolls.
* Chillies are optional!
If you have a chilli recipe, please share with me…I’d love to know whatelse I can make with my chillies!
