Green chilli
This green chilli is so delicious, simple to make and a total pleasure to eat. In England, we're sort of brainwashed into thinking of chilli as just being chilli con carne, but this is completely different and I absolutely love it. I think it's cleaner, braver and fresher than your average chilli. You can make your own flatbreads or use tortillas, or you can even serve with chapattis or naans instead.
