| Chilli paste recipes |
Chilli paste is a condiment made from fresh, dried or
roasted red chillies, puréed and blended with oil. The paste may simply
be seasoned with salt, or flavoured with garlic, onion, ginger or
spices. It is used sparingly in Chinese, Indian and Mexican dishes.
Buyer's guide
Buy fresh chilli paste from Asian stores. It should have a
vibrant red colour, which will become darker and ‘muddier’ upon
keeping. It should not be confused with the more commercially available
chilli sauce or chilli oil.
Storage
Store the paste in an airtight glass jar in the
refrigerator. Cover completely with oil, or it may become mouldy. Keep
the oil topped up at regular intervals to prevent it from turning
rancid. The paste will keep for several months.
