Description

The dried chile de Arbol is a mildly spicy pepper, similar in shape to a mini-cayenne pepper. It is a pepper with a short and powerful spiciness, in addition it has a hint of nuttiness, almost smoky in flavor, along with a slight grassy undertone. Because of its strong spicy flavor, it immediately gives a dish a lot of flavor. Arbol peppers are slender and curved in shape, which is why in Mexico they are also called Pico de Pajaro (bird's beak) or Cola de Rata (rat tail).
'De Arbol' is Spanish for 'tree-like,' because the plant on which the pepper grows resembles a tree. The medium-hot pepper is a common ingredient in Mexican cuisine. The chile de Arbol is delicious for flavoring salsas, sauces and wok dishes.

Preparation
- Fry the dried chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. This will release the essential oils and impart more flavor. Then soak the dried chilies with hot water. Soak them in hot water for 15/20 minutes and then cut/chop into desired size.
- Grind the dried chilies into flakes/flakes or powder.

To keep dried chilies good for a long time, store them in an airtight container in the pantry or even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposure to air, moisture, light and heat; this can cause the dried chilies to discolor, mold and diminish their flavor.

The dried chilies have a long shelf life, but for optimal flavor and spiciness, do not store them for more than a year. Click here for more information on storing and freezing dried chilies.
