Chilefarm Spicy Ketchup

1 lb  Fresh Tomatoes
4 - 8 Hot Chiles (Red Habanero's are best)
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp Garlic salt
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp white sugar

Cut the tomato's into halves and remove stalk section, Cut the Chile's into strips. It's up to you whether or not you remove the seeds. Put all the ingredients into a stainless steel pan (not aluminium). Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and simmer for another 5-10 minutes to thicken the mixture. Pour the whole lot into a food processor and blend with a fine blade setting. Pour into pre warmed bottle and allow to cool.
Use this sauce as you would tomato ketchup, but with more zing.
To make it hotter just add more chile's

Hot Chile

2 lb  Ground Beef (The leaner the better)
1     15oz Can Kidney Beans
1     15oz can Black Turtle Beans (Progresso makes good ones)
1      8oz can tomato sauce (I don't like a lot of tomato in my chili)
1      large Yellow Onion (Chopped)
5-6 cloves  of garlic (or about 2 teaspoons of garlic in oil)
12 Large    Jalapeno peppers (Take the seeds out before using)
1 tblsp     Paprika
1 tblsp     Cumin
1 tblsp     Garlic Powder
1 tblsp     Oregano
1 tsp       Cayenne
1/2 tsp     Black Pepper
Salt to taste
Enough Olive oil to saute the onions,garlic and jalapenos

Instructions:
-------------
Chop the onions, peppers and garlic.  Saute them in olive oil until the
onions are browned.  Throw in the Beef and continue cooking until the
beef is browned.  When done, throw the mixture along with all of the
other ingredients, into a crock pot or stewing pot.  In the crock pot
cook for 6 to 10 hours.  In the stew pot cook covered for about an hour
and a half.  If more liquid is needed I like to add beer, but red wine
is great too.

Habanero Fire Sauce

While it's best used as a creamy sauce to complement burritos, tacos,chili etc., I also use it as a chip dip and have been known to use itas a "base" to finish all those little chips that are too small to dipat the bottom of the bag. Kind of like chip soup.... (Im fully aware how sick I am).
all measurements approximate.

.5 oz High quality dried Habaneros
.5 cup chopped parsley
.25 cup red ripe pepper of any kind....just for color.
.75 quart buttermilk
1 cup mayo.... the real stuff please, no miracle whip
teaspoon black pepper

In a standard food processor:reconstitute habaneros in .25 cup warm water and chop them up in the processor. Add a little buttermilk and buzz again. Add parsley and redpepper and buzz again. Add mayo and buzz again. Add the rest of theingredients and top off with buttermilk until processor is full. Buzz again. This makes about a quart of sauce. It is incendiary. Be careful whenchopping habaneros initially as it can spatter.

Jalapeno Stuffed Steaks

Grilled steaks no longer have to be just a plain piece of meat. Any type of fresh chile or combination of chiles can be substituted for the jalapenos in this recipe. Prepare the stuffing the day before and refrigerate. One hour before cooking, slice the steaks and fill with the chile mixture. Allow the meat to come to room temperature before grilling.

10 jalapeno chiles, stems and seeds removed, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 pounds trimmed fillets of beef, cut into 4 thick steaks
Freshly ground black pepper

Saute the chiles, onion, and garlic in the oil until soft but still a little crisp. Remove, cool, and mix in the cheese. Slice into the steaks from the edge, creating a "pocket" for the stuffing. Stuff with the jalapeno mixture and fasten the opening with a toothpick, if necessary. Season the outside of each steak with the black pepper. Grill over hot charcoal to desired doneness.
Serves: 4
Heat Scale: Medium

Habanero Chicken

Chicken Parts
Fresh-squeezed lime juice
Onions
Habanero chiles
Allspice
Ginger
Sage
Cumin
Salt and Pepper
Tomatoes, thickly sliced.

**All ingredients are to taste. Some are optional. Pull the skin off the chicken, to keep the grease content under control. Put chicken in a pot, and add lime juice - marinate. Fry up the onions until browned, and add to chicken pot. Add the other stuff. Add just enough water to barely cover the chicken. Simmer until the chicken is done. Serve over rice. Easy, and damn, it's good.

Make the marinade: In a food processor or blender puree the 2 chilies, the soy sauce, the lime juice, the allspice, the mustard, the bay leaves, the garlic, the salt, the sugar, the thyme and the cinnamon.

Divide the chicken parts between 2 heavy-duty resealable plastic bags and spoon the marinade over them, coating them well. Seal the bags, pressing out the excess air, and let the chicken marinate, chilled, turning the bags over several times, for at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.

On an oiled rack set 4 to 6 inches over glowing coals grill the chicken, in batches if necessary and covered if possible, for 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through. Transfer the chicken as it is cooked with tongs to a heated platter, keep it warm, covered loosely with foil, and garnish the platter with the additional chilies.

Traditional Indian Stuffed Chillies


10 steps to heaven

1.Get 10 - 15 short fat Green Chillies (approx 3” long, ¾ wide”) try and pick the less curved ones.
2.Slit all the way down each chilli and remove the seeds (best to wear gloves)
3.Put enough Gram Flour (available from good supermarkets and Indian shops) to stuff the chillies you have into a dry frying pan and gently heat/stir it for a few minutes. This then gets partially cooked and does not taste raw when you bite into your stuffed chillies.
4.Empty the Gram flour onto a plate and add a ¼ tsp of salt, ½ tsp sugar and dash of lemon juice. Then add 1 teaspoon of vegetable/sunflower oil and mix by hand. It should be flaky NOT doughy. If it is still too powdery then add more oil.
5.Over stuff each chilli with this flaky mixture.
6.Put a liberal amount of vegetable/sunflower oil into your largest flattest frying pan and lay all the chillies on there face down (the slit side downwards).
7.Sauté (covered if possible) on low-medium heat for up to 30 minutes, or until slightly charred, turn them all over and cook the other side until slightly charred.
8.They should smell delicious and the stuffing should have become cooked all the way through.
9.Eat while still hot if possible.
10.Have any leftovers for breakfast on buttered toast with Indian Tea (then they taste hotter - yum).
