I grew ghost peppers and thai peppers this summer and i smoked them on my grill and made chili powder and I think I made a weapon instead of food
I just ground up some unsmoked dried peppers and added them to the smoked powder and I mixed it up with a gloved hand and when i was done I took the barest littlest lick of the residue on my glove and holy fucking shit it is spicy. like it is the avatar of the apotheosis of spiciness itself. It's too hot. Holy fuck my ass, it started off mild but just kept building and I drank a fucking glass of milk and then brushed my teeth and it's still just fucking painful. It's been 25 minutes and all my mouth feels is hot pain
I'm gonna give some of it to my Turkish coworker Friday but now i'm worried she's not going to believe me when i tell her it's spicy enough to kill a cracker
Make chilli oil. What you've got is a rally efficient ingredient. Take a pinch, simmer it with oil for an hour or so and strain. The oil will thin the spice of course but should also bring that nice smoky flavor to all it touches. Hot honey is trendey af, but same principle applies and i bwt the smoked taste would combo with the sweer nicely. You could also do a bit with some heavy syrup and use it for drinks. Someone else mentioned alcohol solubility as well, this can be used to make a spicy whiskey deglazer. Cheap bourbon is best. You can also use it to make hot sauce. Ive got a pepper growing pal.
