Any of you like adding green chiles to a dish? I've added them to my burgers and chicken tacos and I really love them. Looking for any other recipes where I can add them.
I think chiles are something you can add to almost anything. *smile* My dad makes a thick sauce out of fresh chiles and tomatoes, and we put it on almost everything: tacos fried eggs, soups, rice, beans, cold sandwitches, etc. You can use chile whether as a sauce or by itself on pretty much whatever you cook. Just try them out on sandwiches, pizza, eggs, rice, beans, whatever savory things you are eating. If you're not sure how they will work cooking them in a food with a recipe, you could just put the chiles over it when your done cooking the food. Hope that helps. *smile*
Yeah thanks. I've also starrted putting them in my homemade chicken soup and everyone loves that. Bet they would be really good on pizza have to try that.
we, indians use a lots of green chillies of course. mostly for all our gravies or whatever. ok. I'll give you a recipe for Indian chilly chicken now.

that sounds tasty although i must admut i have not heard of that ingrediant, ajinomoto
also the word, kadhai, that is also a new word to add to m vocabulary.
There are so manied types of chilie peppers and I must admit that to me I have a preferance for the milder ones though yes, some of the milder of the heat type of chilis can be nice.
...not to add confusion
when at first I say preferance for the milder ones, I am thinking of the sweet bell peppers. They are nice with salads/
ajinomoto is a powder which will give you more taste to that. and kadhai is nothing but a pan for frying dishes. they have used tamil words in that recipe.

there is this packaged item in the freezer section of grocery stores
Where green chillie peppers are like engulfed
in a creem cheeeese mixture
and then engulfed in a bread crumb like mixture.
These then may be placed in oven for a few
minutes..
haven't had this treat in ages.
Think it is the creem cheeese is so cooling
like, even when in the baking process
Something
in that the peppers seemed not so HOT like
if they were on their own consumed.. {??}
That recipe sounds so so good. thanks so much for posting it. I'm thinking of baking my chicken breasts and putting some green chiles on that. as well.
I can post more south indian recipes if anybody wants.

Sounds Delicious
and
..and given that
the original poster of this topic
has stated,
"Looking for any other recipes ..."
seems that more of these recipes could easily be added here..
Seems to be that a corn bread could have chillies
added from time to time
Maybe for a special occassion..
and some times Corn Bread goes along
quite nicely with homemade chilli
ok. here we go with another one.
