The next ingredient from our Pepper and Chilli Around The World Collection to get its own recipe is Fenix Chilli a brilliant sweet Italian pepper. It’s a slightly unusual chilli recipe as it includes sausage meat so may not be to everyone’s taste. If you’re vegetarian you can try replacing both mince & sausage meat with a vegetarian mince such as Quorn. Give it a go and let us know how you get on with it.
