Getting The Right Blend Of Arizona Chili Spices

By Amanda Baird


There are numerous aspects to developing a good chili recipe. It is very versatile and people often develop their own recipes for meat, chicken or served with vegetables and kidney beans if they are vegetarian. However one of the key priorities is to ensure you get the right blend of Arizona chili spices in order to get a good balance between heat and flavour.

The first thing to consider is the level of heat. Some people like a lot and want the rush of heat. Other people prefer something with a mild kick but without burning their mouth. While this can be reasonably straightforward if you are serving for one or two people this can be a bit more complicated if you are serving for a larger group.

If you are concerned about how hot a pepper is the easiest way to tone it down is to remove the seeds before adding them to the mix. During cooking if it still tastes hot adding a bit of natural yoghurt can make it milder without compromising too much of the flavour.

Another fact is that you can add ingredients that add colour to the dish. Presentation can often help a dish to stand out. Ingredients such as tumeric or paprika are known for their distinct colours and these could be a nice addition to make your dish look a bit more distinctive.

There are powders available that are ready made that can be instantly added to a mix. However it is important to check the list of ingredients before you purchase them and to get a guide to the level of heat. You do not want to unwittingly add an extra hot ingredient to a mild chili!

Of course if you do want a recipe that is properly hot there are options too. Red Amazon is an example of a hotter variety. These are a dried version of Tabasco and so may be best used to top off at the end or stirred in to make it a little bit hotter towards the end.

The advantage of these is that you can often add the slices and put them into the mix. If you are looking to add a bit more heat a small birds eye pepper is ideal. For people who really want to push the upper limits of the tolerance of their tongue ghost peppers provide a massive burst of heat. However this ought to be used with caution!

After you have used a recipe and begin to become more confident you can develop your own blend of Arizona chili spices. Thankfully if you store them carefully you can access these flavourings at a later date. Look online for recipes and suggestions for spices to create your own recipe.
