Dried chilies from Longer Table Farm's 2021 harvest. You don’t get dried chilies much fresher or more flavorful than these, folks!
Aleppo: The Aleppo pepper is somewhat mild (think half as spicy as your average store-bought chili flakes) with rich savory notes of earthy cumin and fruity tang.
Ancho: Ancho peppers are dried Poblano peppers that have ripened red on the plant before harvesting. They are a staple in Mexican cooking, traditionally pureed and used in sauces. Anchos are one of the key ingredients used in making mole sauce.
Our farm-grown organic chilies will add next-level flavor to your kitchen repertoire. Use them in sauces, soups, salsas, powders - you can’t go wrong! Here’s our fool-proof technique to launch you on your culinary journey:
- Remove stems and seeds from chilies.
- Toast flattened chilies in a dry pan to enhance flavor. Careful not to scorch them!
- Toasted chilies can be rehydrated during cooking in soups and such, or by soaking in hot water for 20 minutes then blended into sauces or incorporated as desired.
