Ingredients: 100% whole pequin chili's
Uses: Deep, rich, and medium smoky in flavor, Chile Pequin adds a bold, fiery kick to any dish. Despite its small size, this chili packs serious heat, ranging from 30,000-50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). In fact, “Pequin” means “smallest,” and it’s true that the smaller the chili, the hotter the punch!
Perfect for dressing up dishes that need a bold, spicy element. Try it:
• Crushed and sprinkled over pizza, tacos, or grilled meats.
• Stirred into salsas, sauces, or chili for intense heat and smoky depth.
• Blended into soups, stews, or marinades.
• Infused into vinegar or oil for a spicy homemade condiment.
• Tossed with roasted vegetables or potatoes for a bold, smoky twist.
• Ground and added to spice rubs for meats or seafood.
For the boldest flavor, lightly toast the peppers before grinding or blending. A little goes a long way, making Chile Pequin the perfect ingredient for those who love dishes with a serious spicy kick!
