chillis

I have been busy in the garden lately but I do seem to forget to take the camera out with me to document things.  But I listened to you re the last pot on the blueberries. Just to recap they have come out of there pots and into the garden. So far they are doing quite well.

It did leave me with more pots and lots of space on the deck, which is a shame to leave empty as there does seem to be almost more space than on the vegetable patch at this time of year. So I have decided to take the chillis out of the vegie patch and put them into pots. They do take up quite some space in the garden.



Of course I will have to show you them in the pots another day (no photo). But I have had to harvest all the chilli and prune them back hard for the big move. I decided that maybe I could stuff them like Liz and they might not be so hot. I mixed some soft cheese and herbs, seasoning then stuffed the empty chillis, threw them into the oven to cook.

They sure do have a lot of seeds for such small fruit
Results were good. Still a bit hot but worth it. Looking forward to tomorrow's lunch

Perhaps I should have made them bigger....

  1. Yum. Did you save all those lovely seeds? I tend to stuff my mildest chillies but even they can make my eyes water on occasion. Pleasure and pain eating.

    1. I absolutely understand Liz. They were good and I have seeds on the kitchen window :o)

  2. Beautiful chillies - never thought of stuffing the little ones like that. If we have a decent summer and I manage to grow some in pots I'll have to try that out.

    1. They were really good. I think the cheese dilutes them somehow from being quite so spicy

  3. Look at those chubby little gems! I stuffed some capsicums the other day. They were meant to be large capsicums and red in colour , but fearing that they would perish with the impending frost, I picked the baby capsicums at green stage and stuffed them with a mix of feta, ricotta and pine nuts. Yum.

    1. Mmm nothing like a home grown stuffed capsicum. Damn frosts are going to be a new experience for you.
