Dried Ancho Chilies - 4 oz. Life Gourmet Shop

The Ancho Chile is actually a dried Poblano pepper and is the most common of all the dried chili peppers. They have a mild fruity flavor with undertones of plum, raisin, tobacco and a slight earthiness, with medium heat (about a 3-4 on a heat scale of 10). This dried pepper is about 3" wide and 4" in length. Anchos are flat, wrinkled, and heart shaped. Most commonly used in authentic Mexican cooking. Ancho pepper is a critical ingredient in red chili, tamales, many moles, enchiladas, salsa, soups and any sauce that may need some extra mild heat. You can add them directly to your recipes - sliced, diced or pureed.
