I had read some recipes about frying hot peppers, so I wanted to try. I have two kinds of peppers. One is red and hot, another is green and mild heat, that's basically I know all about them.


Before I tried frying, I tested the green chili with baked french fries, because I didn't know how this would turn out. The result was great, the green chili became sweet, so I decided to give red ones a try.

Besides the chili peppers, I also put in two gloves of garlic and some cherry tomato. The tomato were sweeter than ever and frying brought more flavor from charred parts. I left them whole, only poked a few holes with knife, so it's still juicy inside when I bit into it.

The problem was the red hot chili seemed hotter. I made some pasta with the oil after like spaghetti with garlic oil, no need to waste a flavored oil. The oil is spicy and with little garlic flavor and sweetness. I at a fourth of red chili, then drank a whole glass of icy water. My mouth was on fire. Glad I didn't put the whole chili in my mouth.

I was hoping long frying could bring the heat away, but my experiment told me it's not the case. The green ones didn't have heat anymore, what type of chili really matters.

Not sure what it should be called, definitely not bread. It smells really good when I went to take it out of oven. I was expecting to make a bread, but when I began to use oil to prevent it from sticking to bowl for first rise, the course has shifted unknowingly. I must have used too much oil.



It doesn't look really good to me. But when I bit into it, oh, that's yummy. After the first rise, I added some raisins to the dough. Before sent to oven, I quartered a few cherry tomato and plugged them into surface of dough. But as you could see, they could fall off easily when I tried to break open the yum thing (still no idea how to call it). Guess, I have to push the tomato deeper.

After baking, I noticed the bottom is a beautiful golden brown, it's almost like the bottom was fried. Yea too much oil.) But I forgot to take one photo, so:



I think this is a kind of snack, you eat warm, but it also tastes good when it's cold.
