CHALEUR CRÉOLE green chilli paste is a spicy Caribbean condiment, made with green chillies and bird's eye chilli, seasoned with a touch of ginger. It is added in small amounts, in cooking or at the table. 100 g jar, made in France.
What is green chilli paste?
It belongs to the family of spicy condiments of Creole cuisine, alongside the red chilli and cabri chilli pastes found in Réunion. Its green colour comes from green chillies, which make up 89% of the recipe, completed with bird's eye chilli (2.1%), white wine vinegar, salt and ginger powder.
How to use it?
Add a small amount of paste at the start of cooking for a colombo, a smoked chicken or acras: the flavours have time to develop. It is also served at the table, in a small touch, so everyone can adjust their own level of heat. Always start small, it is easier to add more than to take away.
What to pair it with?
For a spicy colombo, follow the colombo veal recipe. For a sharper heat and a whole chilli to remove at the end of cooking, CHALEUR CRÉOLE bird's eye chilli pairs well with this paste. To compare with a hotter Réunion version, there is also ROYAL BOURBON red chilli paste. The chillies and hot sauces range brings together the rest of the selection.
