Preserving Chiles (Chile Paste)
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: 30-60 minutes
25 chiles
white vinegar (see method)
2 teaspoons salt
Wash the chiles, then just remove the stalks, but not the seeds.
Put the whole chiles into the jar of a blender, add about 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar then blend. (Warning, don't lift the lid straight off the blender jar and look in - you could get a major hit of chile fumes! Let it settle before opening the lid, carefully.)
If the chile paste is too thick and chunky, add a little more vinegar, then blend again: it should become a smooth paste. Then stir in the salt.
Keep the finished chile paste in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator, ready to use whenever chiles are needed in a recipe.
Cook's Notes: I use this every year when we have a glut of hot hot chilli peppers. This is an Indonesian style chilli paste, a great way to keep excess chillies you've harvested.
