Bird's Eye Chilli

[d000hg]

I am cooking chilli for 3 people and as I normally make it up as I go, I've completely forgotten how many bird-eye chillis are appropriate. I know I prefer them but they're bloody hot... I want a chilli that's hot-ish i.e. for people who like a bit of heat but don't want anything silly.

2 little chillis for 500g mince?

Tot out (no pun) your chilli recipes if you feel like it.

Start with 150 grams of minced horsemeat per person; you'll find it easily, it's in the Birds Eye fridge and labelled 'minced beef'.

For a medium heat chilli, add 1 for each 100 grams

You may have a different view on "medium" to me... I'm sure last time I made a chilli with this type it was delicious but very hot with less

The problem is, I prefer to cook the chilli first in the oil so it infuses into everything - adding more later to spice it up isn't quite the same.

I tried a recipe a few months ago (think it was a Heston one) for chilli, you make kind of a chilli butter and fry the meat in that,

If anyone complains it is not hot enough you can always serve this with after dinner coffee: Scorpion Death Chilli Chocolate
