Dried chile Habanero

The dried chile Habanero is a spicy pepper. With its fruity but also very spicy flavour this is a pepper that can be used in many dishes. The habanero, also known as the Adjuma chilli, is grown and dried by Westlandpeppers. Habanero means ‘from Havana’ and originates from Central America and the Caribbean. There they cook the pepper whole with it to take the pepper out again later. The experienced user dares to include the pepper in the dish. The dried habanero chillies are widely used to make sauces and marinades.

Preparation
– Place the dried chillies in a food processor and grind them until they have the coarse texture you prefer, flakes or powder.
– Rehydrate by soaking them in hot water for about 15 minutes, then chop as you prefer.
– Fry the dried chillies in a dry frying pan on medium heat for about 2 minutes. This will release the essential oils and give them more flavour.

Storage / shelf life
Can be stored in an airtight container for a very long time, but for optimal taste and spiciness, we advise no longer than one year. Avoid exposure to light, (sun)light will discolour the peppers and the taste will decrease.
