Homemade Dried Crushed Chili Recipes

HOMEMADE DRIED CRUSHED CHILI

Steps:

• Count out 30 Japone Chiles dry them in the sun. When they are dry carefully remove the seeds and set the seeds aside in a dish. Put the Dried Japones in the blender.
• Count out 5 Chili De Arbol that is roasted and carefully remove the seeds. Throw these seeds away they are to hot to eat. *Note: Be careful these are very hot to touch and the oil will get on your hands and burn your eyes and lips. So be sure to wash with a brush and soap to remove the oil from your fingers & hands after handling. Put these in the blender with the 30 Japones.
• Blend the two types of chilis in the blender for a few seconds then put them in a jar and add the saved japone seeds.
• Sprinkle on any dish you want to have chili flakes on it. This is not as hot as regular crushed chili pepper you buy in the store and it has a different taste that is milder. I like these on just about everything except pizza I tend to like the regular crushed chilis for my pizza other than that I use this mixture for everything else when cooking.

CHILI OIL

Steps:

• Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.
