HOW TO MAKE RED CHILLI PASTEhttp://lekkerreseptevirdiejongergeslag.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-make-chilli-paste.html

For making red chilli paste, you just need to soak the whole red chillies in to the water for 15-20 minutes, remove stems and grind into a smooth paste. Use little amount of water to make a fine paste.

Chili Garlic Paste

10 to 15 dried whole chilies, preferably a mixture of mild and hot, about 2 to 3 ounces
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
Salt
2 cloves peeled garlic, optional

Method

• 1. Put the chilies in a bowl and cover with boiling water and a small plate to keep them submerged. Soak for about 30 minutes, or until soft. Reserve a bit of the soaking water. Clean each chili: remove the stem, then pull or slit open; do this over the sink, as they will contain a lot of water. Scrape out seeds, retaining some if you want a hotter paste.
• 2. Put the chilies along with any seeds you might be using, the oil, a large pinch of salt and the garlic, if you are using it, in a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth, adding a spoonful of soaking water at a time, until consistency is a thick paste.
• 3. Use immediately or cool, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to two days. Just before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.*Lekker Resepte vir die Jongergeslag*

  Making Homemade Thai Chili Paste

  This paste lasts very well in a glass jar for months. Alternatively you can freeze chili paste in tablespoon sized servings or larger containers. I used to freeze my pesto in ice cube trays (approx. 2 tablespoons per cube) and then break them out into a gallon size freezer bag for individual use, which I think would work well for a milder chili paste such as the green.
  20 Thai chili peppers (seeded, if you want a mild paste)
  1 stalk lemongrass, chopped
  2 shallots, sliced thin
  4 cloves garlic
  1 Tbsp. ginger
  ½ tsp. coriander, ground
  ½ tsp. caraway seeds, ground
  1 Tbsp. fish sauce
  4 Tbsp. canola or soy oil
  Instructions:
  Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until very smooth.***simplegoodandtasty.**

  Make sure to wear gloves; also, the processing of peppers in the kitchen made the air rather difficult to breathe, so open a window if you can.
  Ingredients:
  
  8 jalapeno peppers
  1 tsp. salt
  2 cloves minced garlic
  ½ c. vinegar (or enough to cover)
  Instructions:
  Process the peppers in a food processor until roughly ground, then mix with the salt, garlic, and vinegar. Keep in glass containers and let the sauce age1-2 weeks in the refrigerator before using.
