Have chopped up all the veg. Roast in the oven-happening right now-45mins on has mark 7ish.
Heat roasting dish with olive oil. Adds cumin fennel and chilli seeds when hot enough. Add veg and put in oven.
Then fry off onions and garlic in dash of oil. Add roaster veg with salt, pepper and garam masala with stock. Simmer till soft and then blitz with hand blender. That’s the plan at least!
With the start of the new school year the two large pots of purple rainbow chilli were taken back to their birth place. Largely ignored, but watered regularly they have been left to their own devices.
This had led to them producing many fruits; now of varying colours. As one student remarked, they look like skittles.
Found in the poly tunnel. A fair few purple beauty peppers and a handful for tiny sweet peppers. Am watching the polytunnel carefully, to see when the many peppers and chillies start to cease to exist. there are a couple of long red marconi in there, starting to turn red. The hot patio sizzle are still yellow, and not interested in changing.
The real seeds purple rainbow chilli has been by far the most prolific chilli I have ever grown. These beautiful little creatures have been arriving fairly frequently. One observation, these are very thirsty plants. If they don’t drink, their flowers fall off and they get very stressed. They can easily drink a pint of water a day. A pint. A whole pint glass.
