Had to go out to the patch this arvo and pick some silverbeet, kale, basil and chillies for tonights spag bol. Thought i'd take a pic of chillies i picked scotch bonnies and choclate habernero's.
Normally in the hotter months the bonnies are bit bigger and fatter but due to the colder temps they are backing off a bit. Still have a got heat to them and make a chicken curry "taste sweet man" (as my dad would say).

Mmmmmm chilli. A friend bought a bottle of Trinidad Scorpion chilli sauce from the Royal Easter Show last year. Threw it on some pizza hut slices while drunk. Spicy!

Hey Tarin not a bad selection!I've got some" yellow jamacian"scotch bonnets seedlings,red sevillias and a few others we should trade some seeds some time!the yellow jamacians sound all nice and freindly but.....
tar76 ·
Sounds good Col.
I grew these up to last year Bhut Jolokia, but they were just too bloody hot! I got the seeds off a Indian friend and even he stop using them. We tried cooking with them but propably added too much and you could hardly breath in the kitchen. they use to be the hottest but the Trinidad Scorpion has taken the title.
I know it's been said before but...... man the 'Trinidad Scorpion' sounds sooo bad ass, right up Col's alley. (so to speak)

The Bhut's will blow your head off, i've been told that in parts of India they rub these on their fences to keep elephants away.

LOVE EM
We grew those haberneros earlier
they are a bugger to dry - but I bought one of those dehydrators off ebay
We dry em and flake em.
Keep for months in the fridge. We take a small jar when we eat out.
Sick of asking for chilli at restauants and getting rubbish. BYO is the answer.
We also chop em up and fry em and stick them in oil
If you do a 50-50 mix with those colourful sweet capsicans. 😍
Red wine, olives fresh bread and chilli 😍😍😍
there was a thread I started a few years ago on chilli
Will see if I can find it
The local name for the habanero type chile peppers in Trinidad is the 'Congo Pepper'. This pepper is the extra large habanero and significantly larger and more ribbed than the average red habanero. The plants produce a large number of pods with intense heat ripening to red after 80 days.

Yep - these are the ones that are a bugger to dry
BLOODY HOT - sweet with oil.

Sounds like I'll have to try and do some chilli oil. Wonder if the oil would spice my bug up a bit 😂

OMG and you eat these things?????? 🙅

I tried but way to hot for me Matt. Even when we tried to cook with them it's hard to stand around the pot with out your eyes watering. These days i like a bit of sting but not a major arse burning
tar76 ·
More picked today so i'll have a fair bit to bring on Sunday!
