What to do with green chillies

[keiramax]

Hi, I have mountains of chillies growing at the moment but most of them are still green.  They are slowly turning red but I fear the frosts will be here before they all turn red.  I've been making harissa paste, chilli jam and drying the red ones.

Any suggestions on what to make with green chillies??  Thanks

do green chillies always turn red? what about green capsicums?

[goldfish]

Given time CP - they all turn red . . at least mine do!

Have you seen this link, keiramax?       http://www.chillies-down-under.com/drying-green-chillies.html

or just freeze them!    http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080930051838AAWPrYJ

or make these . . .   http://mexicanfood.about.com/od/toppicks/tp/greenchiles.htm    (love the sound of the rajas!)

When I have excess chillies of any kind I dry them outside in the sun or just leave them on the bench until very dry then put them into the Thermomix and grind them to put in a jar. Do NOT stick your head in the TMX to sniff. No  NO do not do that.

Haha gert you make me laugh..

[gertbysea]

Oh Frozzie you won't be laughing if you put your head into the TMx to sniff at  250 gms of  chopped dried birds eye chilies. Not nice. Took me a whole bottle of Sav Blanc to recover.

A very interesting experience to say the least. I thought I would have to go to the hospital but got too pissed to drive. DH  still has major belly laughs at every mention which is often  in his case.

Thanks for the ideas and the what not to do (Gert).  Now Easter is done with chillies are my next food adventure.

Gert, I just fell off the couch laughing   

The doctor in the house agrees with your prescription - he says that alcohol is the best treatment for a chilli overdose!

[gertbysea]

LOL! Naughty doctor should have said milk with sugar.  Once in Songkhla Thailand at a rather remote beach hut "restaurant" I had to dash into the makeshift kitchen and grab a can of sweetened condensed milk to  douse the fire.  Obviously there was no Sav Blanc  in the esky.
