Ingredients

4 large fresh green chillies.
2 tble sp butter
1 onion , chopped,
3 garlic cloves , squashed or finley chopped,
1/4 tble sp ground cumin,
225ml of single cream,
225 ml of chicken or veg stock,
salt +pepper.


1/
char the chillies in a hot pan/grill in order to make the skin peel off easily , this is made even easier by placing the hot charred chillies in a plastic bag
and sealing them in for 20 mins. you can skip this step and just chop them into strips and deseed them leaving the skins on.

2/
melt the butter in a large pan or wok , add the onions and garlic and saute for around 3 mins. then add the cumin and a little salt and pepper.

3/
stir in the chillies , cream and stock. cook on a medium heat until the liquid reduces into a thick creamy sauce (20 mins or so should do it depending on your cooker/pot etc but you will know when its ready;) ).

this is a great side dish to any mexican food and tastes fantastic, also great for bbq's.

give it a go.
