Ancho Chile Peppers
Ingredients: Dried Ancho Chile Peppers. Uses: Known for its distinctive, mild heat and rich, fruity, and intense flavor, Ancho Chili is a versatile ingredient that adds depth and warmth to a variety of dishes. With a heat level of 1,000-1,500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), it’s perfect for those who enjoy bold flavor without overpowering spice. Try it in: • Sauces and salsas for a deep, smoky sweetness. • Classic chili recipes for rich, earthy depth. • Blended into pasta sauces or drizzled over pizza. • Rubbed onto meats like chicken, pork, or beef before grilling or roasting. • Tossed with roasted potatoes and vegetables for a smoky, spicy finish. • Stirred into soups, stews, or bean dishes for extra flavor. • Blended into marinades for meats or tofu. For the richest flavor, toast and soak the peppers before blending them into sauces or pastes. Ancho Chilies are a staple for creating authentic Mexican dishes with bold, complex flavors.
