strange_raptorsI really quite like living near to an Aldi. You're never quite sure what you're going to find there, beyond a few staples, except that it's going to be cheap. Letting me go to Aldi on my own is a bit like letting Footnote into a pound shop -- ultimately, not much money is spent, but large quantities of possibly useless things are acquired.
During one of these lone trips to Aldi, I recently purchased a packet of dried habanero chillies (for some ridiculous price). Habanero chillies, as some of you may know, are one of the hottest chillies known to exist (100,000 to 350,000 on the Scoville scale, so wikipedia tells me). In my defence, I misread the packet and thought they were jalapeño chilli peppers (it's not much of a defence, admittedly).
My brief poke of the internet informs me that habanero chillies are used in Mexican cookery, which I may have a go at. And, of course, I could substitute them in for chillies in chill con carne. But does anyone have any recipes in particular that use such a spicy chilli? I'm willing to try many things, as I have an entire packet to get through.
Now, everyone sing along with me:
