Not only that, but they taste amazing, are easy to prepare into a fabulous snack whenever you need a pick me up, they are filling, contains vitamin E which is great for the skin, hair and nails and they are really versatile. I just love the lemony flavour of this guacamole with fresh basil.

I like the versatility of Chilli, as you can have enjoy it traditionally, with rice. Or you can spread it over the top of a jacket potato which is one of my favourite ways to eat chilli.

Another way of enjoying chilli is in my Texan Salad Receips as part of a sharing platter, OR as a dip for nachos. Another favourite. Plus of course any leftovers can be used as the base for a Spicy Sheppherds Pie, which I often use Sweet Potatoes for the topping.

Either way, the more you make, the more creative you can be wiht it. And of course if you can’t use it up, you can freeze a portion for future use.

Recipe Notes

This simple sauce is full of incredible Vitamins and Minerals such as Calcium, Iron and Vitamin C.  This will not only add flavour to a wide variety of dishes but it will also boost your nutrient levels too.  The olive oil contains omegas and Vitamin E too which is great for your joints, skin and hair.
