This aromatic recipe for spicy confit chillies is a wonderful way to preserve the heat and vibrant colour of fresh red chillies. By slowly poaching whole Fresno or jalapeño chillies in a bath of olive oil and garlic, the harsh raw heat mellows into a deep, savoury warmth. The garlic cloves soften into a sweet, spreadable consistency, while the oil itself becomes infused with a wonderful fragrance that serves as a versatile kitchen staple.
As a diabetes-friendly condiment, this homemade infusion provides a punch of flavour without the need for added sugars or thickeners often found in shop-bought chilli sauces. It is an excellent addition to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or simply stirred through a bowl of pulses for an instant lift. Always ensure the chillies remains fully submerged in the oil when stored to maintain their quality.
