Chilli Flakes with seeds
Product description
Chillies are grown throughout the world and are used to add flavour and heat to many dishes. Dried chillies taste rather different to the fresh variety due to the caramelisation of the sugars that occurs during the drying process. They are used widely in Mexican, Asian, Indian and Italian dishes.

Method
Rub Calamari salt n pepper mix into quail or chicken pieces.
Heat oil in a pan, and add onion, tomatoes, garlic, chilli and meat. Keep the heat on high stirring frequently to brown meat and caramelise other ingredients. This only takes a few minutes so make sure to have the pasta cooked at the same time.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta separately according to instructions on the packet. I used fresh ribbon pasta for this recipe but any pasta will do.
The sauce should have just enough juice to coat the pasta. Deglazing the pan after you have removed the quail sauce with a few tablespoons of water and drizzling over pasta provides enough flavour to soak into the pasta.
Serve hot with fresh coriander leaves.
