Description

The dried Pasilla chillies have a mildly spicy, strong and refined taste. Pasilla’ is Spanish for ‘raisin’, because it is a dark brown, wrinkled pepper with a raisin-like aroma. The chilli pepper has a rich smoky, earthy taste with a hint of cocoa. The fresh variety is called Chilaca and in dried form Pasilla.

In Mexican cuisine, the Pasilla together with the Guajillo and Ancho is part of the ‘Holy Trinity’ among the dried pods. All three are used in traditional mole sauces. In addition, they are important flavours in many sauces, salsas and soups.

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.

Country of origin
Mexico
