Our Hot Hot Hot Dish of the Day for Spring

denise_and_adrian
Here are the people who make it all, you can easily buy the sauce online from them, and here is how you do it...
Sweet Chilli Prawns
1 knob of butter
8 raw King or Tiger prawns
half a chargrilled 10" tortilla
1 tbs Hot Sweet Chilli Sauce
1tbs fresh chopped coriander
2 splashes of single cream
juice of half a lime
Heat a knob of butter in a large pan or wok and fry King Prawns for a minute or two until they start to change colour. Add the Hot Sweet Chilli Sauce, coriander and lime juice and stir for one minute. Add the cream, turn down the heat and cook the prawns through for a couple of minutes. This will also thicken the sauce.
Chargrill a pre cut tortilla and roll to make a cone. When the prawns are cooked spoon them in the cone and lay it on your plate and pour the sauce over the prawns. Serve with a handful of baby leaf salad as a garnish.

Our Stowmarket Dish of the Day - Sarah Drayton

Sarahdrayton     home made preserves

Sarah is making delicious chutney, jams, pickles and relishes at home - most of it from produce she has grown herself. Here is her Hot Chili Jelly recipe - adapted from the River Cottage Preserves book.

750g to 1kg of bell peppers and 100g hot chillies (any colour will do, I like to mix them up)
Large chunk of fresh root ginger - peeled
300ml cider vinegar (you may need an extra 50ml if using more peppers) or other vinegar works if it's all you have.
1 kg preserving sugar (with pectin added)
Juice of 2 limes
A few mint leaves
1 tsp salt

Please wear gloves for the chili's if necessary - then slice all peppers and chillies in half length ways and remove seeds. Finely chop the chillies, peppers, root ginger and mint (in a food processor) then place into a large pan.

Add the vinegar and slowly bring to simmering point. Add sugar, lime juice and salt, stir until the sugar has dissolved and it begins to boil.

Boil for 5 minutes and remove from the heat. Cool for 5 minutes and pot into sterilised jars. Use within 12 months.

All is well in Eriswell

This is a pretty village right in the middle of USA - land Mildenhall and Lakenheath, with a Native American buried in the churchyard and a pub that sells chili!
