Save your spicy dish.
Many diners enjoy a hint of heat. Using ingredients such as hot sauce and chili peppers kicks up the spice and flavor of dishes. However, it is easy to go overboard with these ingredients, and you can end up with something too spicy for you or your guests to enjoy. By adding certain ingredients, you can save your dish and prevent it from ending up in the garbage can.
Instructions
1. Increase all of the ingredients in your recipe proportionately except for the spicy ones.
2. Add chicken or vegetable broth to dilute the heat.
3. Use potatoes to absorb the spice.
4. Add a sweet ingredient, such as sugar or pineapple juice, to counteract the spiciness.
5. Use acidic ingredients, such as lemons or limes, to reduce the heat of your dish.
6. Serve your dish with dairy products to help cool the heat. Use milk, sour cream or yogurt to neutralize the capsaicin in chili peppers and add relief to burning tongues.
