With over 200 varieties of chillies to choose from, not to mention the wonderful new flavours that emerge when we dry and smoke chillies, we have a lot of fun finding ways to use up the 10 tonnes of chillies we grow each year. If you have a favourite recipe (with chillies, of course!), why not let us know and we'll give it a go and may include it here for others to share.
