Chilli Up North Blog

This is another  modified Jamie oliver recipe, to give it the Chilli Up North twist. Instead of fresh chilli you could always use chilli chocolate. It’s also quite nice if you replace the nuts with coffee beans. Ingredients 200g digestive biscuits 110g whole pecans, roughly chopped 110g pistachio nuts, peeled 12 glace cherries 2 fresh [...]

A while back i received the following video in my inbox, and i’m really sorry i forgot about it, strange because I actually made the eggs and they were really tasty. The recipe is part of a campaign to promote eggs and give people quick and easy recipes, from everything to poaching eggs to creating [...]

In the third and penultimate recipe in the run up to my ultimate chilli burger recipe, I give you the perfect crunch to accompany the soft, sticky sweet chimichrri peppers and the spicy sweetcorn relish recipe. These are different to the lime and chilli onion rings that I did with the spicy crusted steaks a [...]

As the second part of the run up to the ultimate chilli burger recipe, here’s my recipe for chimichurri peppers that combine perfectly with the spicy sweetcorn relish recipe I posted before. This is basically enough for  2 hungry people, you can always make them in advance and refrigerate them until needed. They are also [...]

This recipe is straight out of Jamie Oliver’s, Jamie does America book, i made it last week and it was delicious, it needed a little bit more heat but that’s easily done. As with most things I cooked it first then whacked it in the slow cooker while we were at work, I also served [...]

This breakfast treat is in no way good for you and most people’s arteries will harden at the thought of it but it really does give you that extra boost on the morning after the night before.  It’s up there with pancakes, bacon and maple syrup or poached eggs and hot sauce as my favourite [...]

I made this a few weeks ago and it went down really well, I served them with some cod fillet rolled in Indian spices. It serves 2 but can easily be up-scaled, you can also speed up cooking time by microwaving the spuds. Ingredients 1 big sweet potato 1/2 red onion, chopped 1 clove of garlic, crushed 60ml [...]

Earlier today I recieved an email from Discover the Origin Campaign, which is designed to raise awareness around five key European PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) products; Parma Ham, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Burgundy Wines, Port and Douro Valley wines. It had some rather tasty looking recipes in, some of which even had the most magic of ingredients the [...]

A couple of days ago I saw this video of a lovely lady making a Peppadew pizza and then got http://twitter.com/peppadew_uk on twitter and decided to do my own version of the pizza. It’s not quite as quick and easy as the Peppadew version but I promise it’s worth the effort. You can also multiply [...]
