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.
