red-hot chile oil dressing (recipe) - shawn

[Guest guest]

shawn, my fellow chilehead,

 

you are welcome.

 

whimpy little chile flakes won't be hot enough.

next time you are at the asian market, pick up a bag

of the small dried red chile peppers (japone is what

they are called, i think). tien tsin are what i use at

60,000 scoville units...hot!...you can get those at

penzey's. penzey's (penzeys.com) also sell chile

flakes from pakistan that are 40,000 scoville

units...they rock....you will never go back to the

whimpy stuff.

 

let me know how your chile oil turns out.

 

s.

That's awesome - I rec'd Penzys (or something that sounded like it) catalogs

at one time. Really cool to look through. Neat little spice mixes where you

add sour cream or milk to make instant dips and dressings. Alot of cool

spices and dried herbs too.

 

There are places that sell pure capsicum. That is crazy but would be

interesting to add a couple of drops to dishes that you didn't want the

chile flavoring in.

 

I'm making the chile oil this weekend (have been swamped lately and haven't

had time). I got my dried chiles particularly for this recipe since you said

red pepper flakes are for wimps. LOL.

 

No, PT, I haven't found anything else to use the dried chiles for. Might be

a good time to buy a used salsa or chile cookbook for. I plan on at the

least shredding them up with my hand blender to add to recipes like this

one. Probably would work well in marinades and the like - kick up the tofu.

 

Down here we are enduring the 4th part of our summer. The walk outside for 5

minutes til you start sweating up a storm type - tis the only type of storm

we've seen in some time here. I don'ts care how hot keep bringin on the

chiles! Whooohaw.
