Please help save my Chili?!
Please help save my Chili?
I made chili with 100% organic ingredients. So it cost more than the average chili, but I love it. This time I I used just a little too much chili pepper and it is a tad bit too hot. How can I soften it up? Would adding more dice tomatoes in sauce help to sweeten it?
Answers:
Tomatoes will help and add some water to dilute it a bit. If your chilli is not too thick you can drain off any liquids and then add more diced tomatoes and water.
Add some bread.
Yes add some more diced tomatoes and some Tomato sauce. That should soften it a bit.
I've heard that tossing in some potato wedges will help absorb the heat.
Yes add more tomatos to dilute it down. Try this. Add cucumbers. I love the slight taste it gives. Also cilantro is good too.
ADD A LITTLE SUGAR... IT WORKS
A LITTLE brown sugar and diced tomatoes
Add some brown sugar.
Add some V-8 it works and also adds more flavor with out salt
add 1 peeled potato and some sugar and cook for 10 more minutes
take potato out and throw it away.most of chili will be absorbed in potato
note: to boil potato with over-salted food is the only way to collect salt from it
You can counteract the hot with a little sweet, I would suggest a little sugar or syrup.
Sweetening will make things less hot, so yes, tomatoes will help as will sugar, but adding a tablespoon or two of cream will also dilute the hotness too.
Serve with bread and it'll help too.
Add some tomato sauce or you could even add some butter to cool it down. Never add water! If you add more tomato sauce you will need to add sugar a liitle at a time to get rid of the acid taste.
I know this sounds crazy, but try it. Sugar, you add a little sugar. Seriously, I don't know how it works but try it in a bowl first to see I'm telling the truth. Just a little sugar, taste it, if still too hot add a little more.
I have not tried yet, but a cook told me to use apple juice or apple vinegar.
I recommend to separate a spoon or two and try it. if works, you got it, baby.
I use honey when mine is too hot
add 1 teas of vinagar and 1 teas of vinagar
add ketchup or a little brown sugar
good luck!
usually in this case i would say but i piece of raw potato in it to absorb the spice but i think adding diced tomatoes is better in this case Good Luck:)
