Dilis are small, but terribly delicious. Typically, you can have it tossed and it’s ready. But this sweet & spicy dilis recipe created a little twist. It would only take few minutes to prepare. Very easy and stress-free.
Adding some sweetness and spice to dilis makes it one great appetizer. You can eat this with rice or it’s a perfect pair for an iced cold beer or gin. You’re all set!

Note from Delish:
Dilis is one staple food in the Philippines. You can buy it almost anywhere. This recipe is also quite common, since this is often considered “pulutan”, which works perfectly with a bottle of beer.
Unlike the other sweet and spicy dilis recipes, I made this simpler. I used honey, sugar and fresh chili to get that sweet and spicy flavor. Simple and easy as that!
And remember, dilis is a good source of calcium, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Such a healthy yet cheap food to eat.
