How do I make my chili edible it is too spicy hot?
There are a few things you can do to make your chili edible if it's too spicy hot:
1. Add dairy: Dairy products like milk, yogurt, or sour cream can help to reduce the spiciness of chili. The fat in dairy products binds to the capsaicin (the compound that makes chili peppers hot) and prevents it from reaching your taste buds.
2. Add sweetness: Sweet ingredients like sugar, honey, or fruit can help to balance out the spiciness of chili. The sweetness will help to counteract the heat of the capsaicin.
3. Add acid: Acidic ingredients like lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar can also help to reduce the spiciness of chili. The acidity will help to break down the capsaicin and make it less potent.
4. Add starch: Starchy ingredients like rice, noodles, or beans can help to absorb some of the capsaicin and make the chili less spicy.
5. Remove the seeds and ribs of the chili peppers: The seeds and ribs of chili peppers contain the most capsaicin, so removing them can help to reduce the spiciness of the chili.
6. Serve the chili with a side of bread, tortillas, or chips: These can help to bland down the spices and cool your mouth.
7. Top the serving with some guacamole, cheese, and/or sour cream.: Similar to #1 these topping can offset the spicy elements or the dish.
If your chili is still too spicy after trying these methods, you may need to dilute it with some water or broth. Additionally, you can strain some of the broth, and reduce the heat on simmer until you reach a bearable, edible taste.
Remember, it's always better to start with a mild chili and gradually add more spice to taste, rather than making the chili too spicy from the start.
