7 PEPPER RECIPES YOU MUST TRY

Peppers are a versatile vegetable (or fruit, as some may argue) that can be grilled, sliced for salad or soup, or blended. They are flavourful, some rich in vitamins and minerals, and add a kick to your dish. With that in mind, here are seven recipes to get started!

Forget store-bought salsa, the homemade Roasted Tomato Salsa could be eaten straight out from a bowl with a spoon, or served with tortilla chips. Jalapeno peppers are hot, so one has to be careful when handling them – wear a pair of gloves and avoid touching your face or any sensitive parts of your body thereafter.

Piri piri is a chilli pepper grown in Africa and is known for its intense spiciness. Small in size but lethal, these little chillies are the main ingredients for Piri Piri Chicken – spicy chicken legs soaked with irresistibly tasty and hot sauce (think rendang, but chicken). If piri piri chillies are not available, opt for piri piri chilli sauce instead, which can be found in major supermarkets.

The 5mm reinforced base in the Thermos® Shuttle Chef® prevents your food from getting burnt, and its portability means you can carry the entire pot over for potlucks while it cooks!
