Chipotle Chilli Flakes have a deliciously sweet, smoky flavour & is a staple in Mexican cuisine. Drying & smoking the jalapeno chillies acts to intensify their flavour & reduce the heat. These are around a 5-6 on a scale of 10; so they’re still hot, but not too hot. Our Chipotle Chilli Flakes give you versatility. We usually use them just as they, but if you do want them finer, grind them to a fine powder in pestle & mortar. Indispensable in sauces, salsa, soups, stews & bean dishes. Use in stir fries, or rub on chicken or fish before baking or grilling. Stir a good pinch into soft cream cheese or soured cream for a cooling/warming dip. For a quick, healthy & cheap meal, sauce a diced onion, add 1 tsp of the Chipotle Chilli Flakes & 1 tsp of cumin & coriander. Then add a tin of your favourite beans (we use a mix of butterbeans & taco beans) plus a tin of chopped tomatoes. Simmer for 5 mins, then stir a big handful of spinach leaves in it. Serve with crusty bread or on warmed wraps, with a dollop of soured cream if you like. This is a simple recipe to tweak according to your liking; add an egg for the last 3 mins (shakshuka-style), diced pepper, courgette, aubergine, chopped chorizo or even leftover chicken. We sometimes place a hake fillet in the middle to let it poach in the sauce for 5 mins. It’s a great way to use up leftovers or bits of veg in the fridge. It’s also ‘free’ on all the slimming plans we know of! Like so many in our range, this is another that’s sugar-free, gluten-free & vegan too. With no fillers or anything artificial, our unique blend of herbs & spice create the purest, freshest flavour possible to give your food attitude. 35g resealable pot.
