Ancho Whole Dried Chilli (50g)

Ancho chillies, born from roasted and dried poblano peppers, boast a delightful blend of sweetness and smokiness that enriches culinary creations. With a gentle heat akin to raisins in taste, these flakes elevate salads, soups, tacos, and more. On the Scoville Scale, they rank at 1000 units, offering a mild to medium heat.

For a delectable dish, rehydrate them in hot water for 5 minutes, remove seeds and veins, fill them with fresh cheese, dip in whipped egg whites, then fry in very hot oil for 5 minutes. Serve with a tangy tomato sauce — an enticing twist on stuffed poblanos.

Store any leftover chillies in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
