Tip for keeping them: You can halve them, remove the seeds and then put them into a large glass jar of olive oil in the fridge for ten days. At the end of that time we decant it to give us a jar of chilli oil for cooking with. The chillies themselves will then be gently pan-fried for around 20 minutes, zizzed down with a hand-held processor and then placed in a glass screw-top jar as a chilli paste. Both the oil and the paste can happily last over a year in the fridge, for continued use in the kitchen.
