Recipes: Piquin

Christmas just isn't Christmas without the spiced scent of mulled wine warming on the stove. Being a chilli company we decided that the more traditional version could be improved with the addition of some chillies and we selected Piquin chillies for the job for their rich flavour and superb appearance. We found that they added a nice level of chilli heat without overpowering the other flavours - of course you can always add more than specified in the recipe if you want your mulled wine to be hotter! Also in the mix is our delightful Mexican cinnamon for a sweeter, mellower cinnamon flavour.

A delicious recipe that Visit Mexico kindly allowed us to use from their collection of traditional Mexican recipes. Perfect for a starter or main course.
