Hot Chilli Sauce

We have mountains of chillies. The chillies we grow here seem to be reliably perennial. We have had these plants on the go now for 3 yrs. This year they produced a huge crop.
We have enough dried chilli so it was time to try something new.
After assessing what ingredients we had available we decided to make a batch of sambal or chilli sauce.


Our chilli plants are huge-almost 8 ft tall and loaded with fruit.


The finished sambal.


 The recipe:

It was very hot, but yummy. We tried a tsp in a stir fry and that was about perfect. We are thinking that with a dsp of curry powder in it, it would make a great curry paste.
Also I am thinking that a tsp in cream cheese may make a delicious dip.
I think we will be making more of this and taking it with us when we leave NZ.
