Recipe remedies - Too Spicy!!!

Tweet

I have friends who would ask..... can you make a dish too spicy???? Maybe you used the Dave's Insanity sauce when you meant to reach for the Tabasco. Or forgot to remove the seeds/ribs from those jalapenos. Whatever the reason, one bit and every pore in your head and neck are now sweating and your mouth is aflame. The solution: ~add more of the nonspicy ingredients (the obvious) ~add sugar or acids or dairy products ...... a can of crushed pineapples to your chili. It will virtually disappear while counteracting the heat. ...... a few squirts of lime can be added to a super spicy salsa or when appropriate some dairy in the form of sour cream or yogart to a spicy sauce. ~serve the dish with sour cream or cheese ~offer some chopped cilantro when serving. It seems to have a cooling effect on the mouth. ~add a bit of honey What tried and true methods do you have?
