Secular Chili

[sven]

The best way to de-seed a chilli is to roll it firmly between your palms until it doesn't 'crunch' anymore. Then cut the top of and just pour the seeds out.

I cut the end off and swipe out the seeds and veins with a potato peeler.

Sounds like a good method. I'm going to try that next time.

Yeah. I've done that myself with whole chipotles sometimes. Though that will be much stronger than the stuff you get from the store shelf, I suppose.

I love spicy! Also, chipotle has a wayyyyy better flavor than habanero peppers! It's the adobo sauce that makes them amazing. My 18 month old daughter likes chipotle even lol. I try to incorporate it into everything I make

Another one to try is chile de árbol, I think it's usually labeled as Japanese chili peppers in the store where I buy it. Mmmm

I don't think I've ever seen those anywhere. Sounds interesting. I'm going to try and find some!

Yeah I'm kinda addicted to chipotle too. I put chipotle paste in my scrambled eggs and it tastes fantastic, for example.

Now that's awesome! I usually just use a mild chili mix in mine. So much for the basic salt and black pepper, eh?

There's this sauce I like with scrambled eggs called el pato or something. I will post a picture later when I'm not being lazy.

Let me know if you find those peppers near you, they're amazing when used properly but pretty disgusting if you try just adding them in like other peppers. Also in my experience they always require extra salt no matter what you use them in.

Plop a can of refried beans in it to thicken it up.

Sounds like a splendid idea. The beer should be enough to thicken the chili, but beans would add some nice texture to the sauce. The starch in the refried beans should mean you won't have to reduce it that long as well.
They are impossible to find in Sweden. Seems very easy to make, however.

I usually use a handful of corn chips to thicken my chili.
