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.

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 [...]
