How to Use This Pepper

Toast

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast chiles 10–15 seconds per side until fragrant, do not burn.

Rehydrate

Cover with hot water for 15–20 minutes. Remove stems and seeds if you want milder heat, then drain & reserve soaking liquid.

Blend & Cook

Blend into sauces, salsas or moles. Add to stews and braises for deep, layered flavor.

Do's

  • Toast chiles briefly to enhance flavor
  • Remove stems and seeds for milder heat
  • Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container
  • Blend rehydrated chiles for smooth sauces

Don'ts

  • Don't over-toast or burn the chiles
  • Don't use moldy or damaged chiles
  • Don't substitute fresh peppers in 1:1 amounts for dried chiles
  • Don't skip rehydrating for most dishes — it unlocks flavor
