A real winter warming treat

Have you ever spent the day outside in the cold only to come indoors and really fancy something nice and hot to tuck into. If so then try this recipe, lovely served up with Garlic bread.

This recipe serves two and you will need:

2 Chicken breasts
1 Tin of tomato soup
2 Medium onions sliced
3 Garlic cloves sliced
4 Thai dragon chillis
Small tin of baby carrots (we used our homegrown carrots)
1-2 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
25g Butter
150g Cream cheese
Quarter cup of water
Pepper to taste

Method:

Mix the melted butter, softened cream cheese, soup. water, Italian seasoning and pepper together and stir until blended.
Cut the chicken into strips, put into sauce pan with the onion, garlic and chillis then cover chicken with mixture and carrots then cook slowly on the hob for about an hour or until cooked through.

Alternatively you can add all the ingredients into a slow cooker and set it going for about six hours.
Check that the chicken is cooked all the way through and that the carrots are soft.

Dish it into two bowls and serve it with some nice garlic bread, almost guaranteed to get you feeling toasty on a winters day.

You can also serve it up with rice or anything else you like.

For this you will need: Jalapeno Peppers, Thin bacon or Jambon cru, Cream cheese and then what ever filling you want to put with the cheese. First you will need to take your Jalapenos and cut them along the length, some people leave the stalks on to prevent the pepper from folding outwards. I take the stalks off as I have never had that problem. What you do is up to you! Now you will need to remove the seeds and the membranes. Next step is the Cream Cheese! Here you can try anything, it's just down to your own imagination. I have tried mixing the cheese with Sweet chilli sauce, dried chilli flakes and I have even cut up some hotter chillis and mixed those

Planning ahead for next year (a Chilli special)

Well this doesn't happen very often! Preparing for next year, getting organised. It's unheard of in this house. So yesterday afternoon I had a cheeky look on premier seeds website. http://www.premierseedsdirect.com/ And whilst ordering five litres of Chilli Focus fertiliser I got some of next years seeds in. We are going to mainly focus on chilli plants for next year, giving the sweet peppers a miss and cutting back a little on the Tomatoes. So for starters we are going to be planting......... Maule Hot, these go up to about 30,000 on the Scoville scale. So not too hot. Satans Kiss, a small chilli pepper from Italy. The Italians stuff them with Anchovies and Mozzarella, they get to around 50,000 Scoville units. Birds Eye Demon. We have grown these this year and starred in one of our chilli challenge videos........ https://youtu.be/rDdQ8tdd240 They were mighty hot when just eaten raw and have proved to be very useful in cooking, they ca
