Serious question, I have a few of these growing (the Ghost Chili), and am trying to think of how to cook a couple without killing a few people.
Any good recipes going around that anyone can recommend?
Exactly what do you want to cook and what do you want to achieve? Are you trying to hurt people or just use them in a normal spicy dish?
Lots of options. You can use these chilli's as a direct additive provided you blend or mortar the crap out of it first. As per my post above even a 1mm size chunk can cause undesirable issues...
I make hot sauce out of mine and use tomatoes, garlic, onion, vinegar and a few other things with it - boil it all up and blend it into a sauce. it still is nasty and anyone unwittingly using a flat teaspoon in a meal will only do it once.
My butcher makes chilli biltong and a small jar of my sauce makes 5kg's of meat.....I swap the jar for a whole heap of biltong...he always wants more.
Best curry use would be a goan pork vindaloo imo....
My wifes favourite meal is a Thai stirfry made with these chillis - the paste I make uses Trinidad Scorpions....it is a nasty (but nice) dish and I don't make it often because I am a wus....
