PASTA WITH FRIED LEMONS AND CHILE FLAKES
You probably already have a favorite pantry pasta dish that you habitually whip up when there's nothing in the house for dinner. Next time, try this one instead. It has all the usual players - olive oil, Parmesan, flaky sea salt - along with fried lemons for brightness and chile flakes for heat. Don't skip the step of blanching the lemon slices before frying. It may seem fussy, but it eliminates any bitterness in the lemon pith and takes only a few extra minutes. Then dry the lemon slices well before adding them to the hot oil; this helps them brown more deeply.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Finely zest 2 of the lemons and set aside. Trim the tops and bottoms off the other 2 lemons and cut lengthwise into quarters; remove seeds. Thinly slice the quarters crosswise into triangles. Blanch the lemon pieces in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a dish towel. Blot dry.
- In the boiling water, add pasta and cook until just barely al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. Add the dried lemon pieces and season with a pinch each of salt and sugar. Cook until the lemons are caramelized and browned at the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Melt the butter with the remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the chile flakes and zest of both lemons; cook until fragrant. Whisk in the reserved pasta water.
- Toss in pasta, juice of 1 lemon, cheese, pepper and the remaining salt. Cook until pasta is well coated with sauce. Toss in the caramelized lemon and the celery leaves and parsley if using. Taste and add lemon juice if needed. Serve, topped with a drizzle of oil, more cheese if you like, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Steps:
- If you are using dry chilies, soak them in a bowl of boiling water until they have softened, about an hour; then drain the soaked chilies and prepare as usual.
- Process all ingredients in a blender or food processor, adding oil a little at a time until mixture becomes smooth and pasty and of the right consistency (How much oil you use really depends on the size of your chilies).
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container, covering the top of the paste with a little bit of oil.

HOT CHILLI & LEMON PASTE
This paste is great with everything, I even have it with cheese sandwiches for that hot burst of flavour. This recipe originally came from my husband's aunt who is from Mauritius. This paste is in huge demand from family and friends so I'm sure it will be a hit for you. Remember to cook the chilli in a well ventilated room as the fumes can be strong and always use rubber gloves when preparing chillies.

Steps:
- Wash chillies and remove stalks (Note: Use rubber gloves).
- Cut chillies in half lengthways.
- Wash and cut lemons into quarters.
- Crush garlic and finely chop ginger.
- Put all above ingredients into food processor and blend in batches until paste consistency is as desired, adding small amounts of oil if dry.
- In a heavy based pan cover bottom with oil and heat to medium high, when a small amount of paste is dropped into the oil it should sizzle.
- (Note: only cook chilli in well ventilated area as fumes are strong).
- Add paste to hot oil, add salt and stir constantly.
- As soon as paste turns from red to orange (about 3 - 4 mins) remove from heat, stir and allow to cool.
- Once cool put into sterilised jars and top with oil so that there is a thin layer of oil on top of paste and refrigerate.
- In cool weather this can be stored in a cupboard.

CHILE GARLIC PASTE
If you're looking for more heat without the characteristic smokiness of the chipotle, just add a few ordinary dried red chiles. For Mexican-style chile paste, add a bit of cumin, and some oregano or epazote. With good curry powder or garam masala you'd produce the kind of paste you see in northern India. You can make a blend similar to harissa, the classic paste from North Africa, by adding coriander and cumin. If you use fresh herbs or aromatics (including garlic), refrigerate the finished paste and use it within a day or so for maximum freshness and oomph. If all your seasonings are dried, the paste will last a couple of weeks at least. Remember this, though: Chiles can burn. If you have rubber gloves, use them. If not, every time you touch a chile, wash your hands with warm soapy water several times and be careful not to touch your eyes. The heat belongs on the table.

Steps:
- Put chiles in a bowl and cover with boiling water and a small plate to keep them submerged. Soak for about 30 minutes, or until soft. Reserve a bit of the soaking water. Clean each chile: remove stem, then pull or slit open; do this over sink, as they will contain a lot of water. Scrape out seeds, retaining some if you want a hotter paste.
- Put chiles, any seeds you might be using, the oil, a large pinch of salt and the garlic, if you are using it, in a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth, adding a spoonful of soaking water at a time, until consistency is a thick paste.
- Use immediately or cool, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to two days. Just before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
