Chilli Dog

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

This is the ULTIMATE leftovers dish. From fridge to table in just 15 to 20 minutes and can be prepared just as easily in the kitchen or on a BBQ. The main ingredients being a leftover pot of Chilli, and your favorite dog, or sausage. For the authentic "dog" taste i would recommend a good sized German style sausage (but not cheap frankfurters). Alternatively a nice steak and black pepper sausage from your local butchers would be absolutely amazing. This works perfectly well with a nice freshly made chilli, but is ten times better if it a day or two old.

Habanero Corn Salsa

Preparation: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

If you don't know it by now, I love spicy food. This salsa is super sweet, spicy, fresh and it makes the perfect dip. Once you put this on the table it will be gone in a matter of seconds, so make sure you have have enough ingredients for a couple of batches! The habanaro chilli is EXTRA SPICY but it has an unmistakable flavor that makes this salsa wonderful, but be warned, it's your decision to go seeds in or seeds out!!

Caramelised Red Onion Chutney

Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 1 hour

This awesome chutney is a sweet, savory delight. It is not only the perfect dinner party food, served with a nice cheese and wine, but I personally find it to be an amazing burger topping, and it turns the most boring sandwich into the best. This can be made, and kept in your fridge for up to three months, and even though you can eat it as soon as it cools down, it tastes its best after a month. This recipe makes enough to fill a 250g jar to the top, but if your making it for an occasion simply double the recipe and this works perfectly.

Ultimate Jalapeno Poppers

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

In Ireland up until recently it was near impossible to find fresh jalapeno peppers. As soon as i discovered they sold them in supermarkets finally, they had to be put to use A.S.A.P.  A fantastic finger food, the jalapeno popper is a favorite among so many! Usually coated in a spiced breadcrumb, this recipe takes them to the next level. Smokey streaky bacon rashers are the not so secret ingredient, and it makes them AWESOME! If you're not a jalapeno popper fan, you will be after these!
