Spicy chili cream for the bravest, perfect on bruschetta but also to season pasta. In the mood for preserving, I find myself dealing with chili peppers. Along with spicy chili jam, I decided to prepare this cream to be used like a simple basil pesto or walnut cream, but with a slight variation: spicy, slightly spicy, just with this small difference, adult taste! For those who love the spicy taste, this is ideal. Let’s say that in my travels I always make a stop at local markets, I assure you that in the Calabrian markets they are an explosion of red color from everywhere—it’s a party. I bought this wonderful bouquet of ‘devils’ or ‘little devils’ as chili peppers are also called in a market in Calabria.

Can spicy green chili peppers be used instead of red ones to make the spicy chili cream?

  • Yes, of course, you can use spicy green chili peppers; the green color instead of red does not change the flavor of the spicy chili cream.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
