On the back of his new series, there have been a lot of Jamie Oliver recipes in the paper lately.When I spotted this recipe for a green chilli my tastebuds were tickled. A friend of mine made it first, and she said the flavour needed some boosting, so I went with her suggestions.
Instead of seasoning with salt, I used a beef gel stock cube. I used 2 of my hot serrano chillies. I chopped together the spring onions, mint and a big handful of coriander, mixed it with the lime juice, and stirred it in a couple of minutes from the end, in the spirit of a gremolata with osso bucco, to freshen up the flavour. I served it in tortillas with sour cream and guacamole. It was very good - and Jamie's American Road Trip isn't as cringe-inducing to watch as I was expecting - but it won't replace a red chilli in my heart.
i've still not tried green chili, but i want to. this looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI like chili in any shade ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds yum!
Oh yummy! This looks so good!! Anything spicy is always good in my books...
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of any and all chili so this looks great!
ReplyDeleteHeather - it was pretty good! I don't think I've had pork in a chilli before.
ReplyDeleteGirli - I like your way of thinking.
Dharm - yes, a bit of spice is a good thing.
Deb - definitely worth a try. Maybe with turkey to lighten it up a bit?
I hope we get that Jamie Oliver series over here, at least on BBC America
ReplyDeleteI don't think we have the new Jamie series here in Canada yet - but the green chili sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteI loved his At Home series best, and the book.
Kat - I hope so! It'd be interesting to hear what Americans make of his take on their culture.
ReplyDeleteNatashya - I'm not a huge fan of his. I like his commitment to making the world better, but I've never wanted to buy one of his books!
This sounds delicious, with all the lime and mint and everything. I must admit I can't handle an awful lot of chilli though :)
