Chilli Up North Blog

This is based on the Hairy Bikers chicken curry from their latest (and excellent) book “Mums Know Best”, they used chicken and it didn’t have the veg in, i also added a few more chillis to spice it up a little bit.
It takes about 10-15mins to prepare then I put it in the slow cooker [...]

already mentioned how much I love Reggae Reggae Sauce, but I’ve never actually posted any of the ways that I use it so here is the first, and possibly one of my favourite ways of serving Reggae Reggae Sauce.
You can easily substitute the chicken for pork fillet, it works an absolute treat, just adjust the [...]

This was another one of my experimental meals, I made it for 1 as I had made salmon for Emily and I can’t stand the stuff so treated my self to a nice piece of cod loin.
As with all my recipes you can change the amount of chilli you use depending on how fiery you like it.

I was looking for recipes to help clear my recent bout of man flu, when a friend on twitter suggested i make chilli, chicken and ginger soup, he kindly provided me with the recipe and it’s too good not to share! So over to Pete….
This works best if you have some leftover chicken from Sunday [...]

This isn’t strictly a chilli recipe and it’s probably not traditional Greek due to my tweaks, but it does have chilli flakes and Tabasco in and taste blooming lovely
I found it on Leigh’s blog the other week, made it and thought it was awesome, made it again with a few tweaks, so I have decided put it [...]

Another guest post this time courtesy of photographer extrordinaire (check him out on twitter or have a look at his stunning pics here )
Stuart tells me he picked this recipe up on his travels and has slightly westernised i. Apparently as long as it’s bitingly hot, sour, salty and has loads of mint it’ll be [...]

This was another one of my experimental meals just as we quite often have roast cod with lemon or in bread crumbs so i thought why not combine the two and add a little bit of chilli.
This serves two and takes about 10 mins to prepare and 15-20 mins to cook depending on the thickness [...]
