Spicy Confit Chillies

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.

Ingredients for Spicy Confit Chillies

  • 16 whole medium-hot red chillies with stems (such as Fresno or red jalapeño)

  • 10 garlic cloves, peeled

  • 240ml olive oil or 120ml olive oil and 120ml vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more

Bring chillies, garlic, oil, and 1 teaspoon salt to a gentle simmer (oil should be barely bubbling) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat immediately to maintain gentle simmer and cook until chillies and garlic are tender, 1–1 1/2 hours. Let cool.

Confit chillies can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.
