Hi,
I looooooove your recipe, it’s not too spicy so we could eat it. I’m from the Netherlands and there we’re not used to spicy fonds or even chili at all! But i was actually searching for another recipe you mention in different other ecipes. Only i can’t find it no more cos it’s removed? I’m looking for DIY Chili Seasonings. Do you still have that recipe for me please?
How much i loved this chili, i’d like to try different ones and sometimes or rather quit often, there’s in the recipe for example….4 Tbsp chili seasoning….and that’s way i was searching for a recipe. I hope you have it for me.
I appologize for any language mistakes that i’ve made, but my speaking language is Dutch and not English.
I hope you’ve a great day and Thanks in advance.
