Sili - Chili Pepper



Sili

Filipinos are fond of sili. I am the exception. But in my family, they put sili into everything. The best use of sili for me though, is when they put a lot of whole sili in a bottle of vinegar. And you use this as a dip for everything. Hot hot hot.

A region in the Philippines, Region V (Bicol Region) is famous for their chili dishes. Campers Point has a nice intro to the cuisine of Bicol here
