Description

The dried Pasilla pepper has a mildly spicy, strong and refined flavor. 'Pasilla' is Spanish for 'raisin', this is because it is a dark brown, wrinkled pepper with a raisin-like aroma. The chili pepper has a rich smoky, earthy flavor with a hint of cocoa. The fresh variety is called Chilaca and in dried form Pasilla.

In Mexican cuisine, the Pasilla, along with the Guajillo and Ancho are part of the "holy trinity" among dried chili peppers. All three are used in traditional mole sauces. They are also important flavorings in many sauces, salsas and soups.

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 chili peppers good for a long time, store them in an airtight package in the pantry or, even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposure to air, moisture, light, and heat, as this can cause the dried peppers to discolor, mold, and lose 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.
