We had this for dinner tonight. It is really delicious. I did it as part of the latest challenge but it will become a favourite weekend meal.

I used half a long red chilli Judy, with the seeds.
DH was watching Jamie the other night and said he finely grated a frozen chilli over something or other. It was like a fine chilli powder. I love the sound of that. We always freeze our excess chillis so I have lots.

I saw that too Cookie, thought it was a great idea.  I have a bag of home grown chillies in the freezer too, enough to keep me going for 12 months I reckon
