Gunpowda – Cured and Crushed Scotch Bonnets
Chilli powder is a staple of every spice cabinet. But as every cook knows the heat it confers, although convenient, is a pale shadow of the subtle and complex mix of flavours you get from the real thing. You see, it’s not simply a matter of raw heat. Cut into a fresh scotch bonnet and you immediately get that signature mouth-watering hit of citrus coupled with notes of soft fruit sweetness and low rumbling heat; flavours that simply can’t be replicated by a dry powder.
Through a process I have created in my own kitchen, I have managed to replicate my Nan’s recipe, made for generations in my family. She began making it in Guyana where the scotch bonnets grew in her garden, and brought it here to the UK when she came over many moons ago. Gunpowda never went further than our own home however. Until now…
As soon as you smell that distinctive smoking scotch bonnet aroma, you’ll see what I mean. Taste it and you’ll be hooked.
