Mirchi Panpepato
This recipe is based on a traditional Italian Christmas treat from Siena which dates back to medieval times. Panpepato translates as ‘peppered bread’ due to the liberal use of pepper, but here in place of the traditional black pepper, we're using MIRCHI BLEND for a rich, spicy dessert which is a perfect after dinner treat alongside a cup of strong coffee.

I've made this twice now, the first time with figs and the second with chopped dates and have thoroughly enjoyed both. It's so simple to make and the combination of dark chocolate, chilli and fenugreek works surprisingly well, ensuring that it's not at all sickly and has a lovely warmth in the aftertaste. All you have to do is measure out the ingredients (I chopped the figs and chocolate in a mini processor to save time and effort), melt the butter and honey, chuck it into the dry ingredients, mix with a spoon and put into a pastry case. About 10 minutes to prepare and 20 to cook. One tip though, let it cool completely before trying to cut as it's relatively soft until cool!
