WHAT IT IS: all natural dried chipotle morita chilies
- the most popular chili for Tex-Mex cuisine.
- no preservatives, no additives
- vacuum packed – quality chilies are most often not pre-ground but whole - maintaining their essential aroma and oils
- harvested from small farms in central Mexico, authentic, picked with pride and dried with care
- a good source of vitamins a & c, high in iron and antioxidants. energizes your favourite sauces, chilies, stews, BBQ
HOW DOES IT TASTE: from dried jalepeños. lightly smoked “chipotle” chilies, fruity like blackberries (morita means “little mulberry”)
PREPARE IT: a little more work than sprinkling generic ground chilies, but for a discerning chef, essential
- wash, rehydrate and toast lightly in a saucepan. over cooking can add bitterness. chop in small pieces or blend to flakes
USE IT: cook in moles and sauces, in chili – stews, in crock pot & insta-pot recipes
