How to preserve fresh chillies


Fresh chillies in the fridge are my essential product. They could  highlight any dish so easily. But I find it hard to keep track of them, or using the whole pack until they get to rot. So here I present you a simple conservation that I eventually came up with.

Ingredients:
  • bag of chillies
  • salt
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil

Procedure:
  1. Wash chillies.
  2. Peel them from seeds. 
  3. Blend the part you have peeled
  4. Add some salt (around 1 tsp for 200 g of product), sprinkle with olive oil. And blend again for 20-30 sec.
  5. Pour in containers and freeze.
When you are out of chillies, just take another container from the freezer and leave it to defrost naturally. 

Note:Note: Blending chilly peppers with their seeds would give you a lot more heat. So use it as an advantage or remove totally.
