Cool Chile Co Whole Pasilla Chillies, 50g

Whole pasilla chillies bring a rich warmth to Mexican dishes, and slow-cooked beef stews. Or finely slice and fry the chilli until it is crisp, then garnish soups and salads.

The pasilla chilli has a dark cocoa colour and wrinkly skin. It has notes of woods, herbs and dried fruit and is a medium to low heat.

How to use whole pasilla chillies

Lightly toast then rehydrate pasilla chillies to release their flavour. Wipe clean and remove stems and seeds. Open the chillies out flat and toast briefly in a dry pan on a medium heat until fragrant, then soak in just boiled water for 15 minutes. Drain and blend to a paste with a splash of water. Always wash your hands after handling chillies!
