Chili Ancho getrocknet 100 g

Dried Ancho Chili 100 g. Ancho chilies have a sweet, smoky flavour reminiscent of raisins and are mild to medium hot. Ancho is the dried form of the poblano chili and is widely used in Mexican cuisine. In Spanish it is called “Chile Ancho”. It tastes especially good in tortilla soup (sopa de tortilla) and is also one of the main ingredients in moles and enchiladas. Another example is “carne de puerco en chile negro” – grilled pork in a sauce made with tomatoes and ancho chili. Ancho chili is mild and sweet, with an almost slightly chocolate-like flavour that gives dishes a distinctive note. It is a close relative of the mulato chili. Poblano chilies are often roasted and peeled before being preserved or frozen; when dried, the poblano becomes the broad, flat pod known as ancho, meaning “wide chili”. It is often ground into powder to season Mexican dishes. You can also grind ancho chili yourself in a molcajete for authentic recipes. Store dried ancho chilies in an airtight container; they will keep for several months.
