Pasilla chili 100 grams

The name “pasilla” comes from the Spanish word for raisin and refers to the chili’s dark color and slightly sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of dried fruit. Pasilla chili is actually the dried version of the chilaca chili and is particularly prized in Mexican cuisine for its complex flavor and mild potency (typically 1,000-2,500 Scoville units). It has notes of berries, cocoa, coffee and a hint of smoke, making it particularly suitable for both savory and sweet dishes. Comes beautifully packaged in a zip-lock bag.

Description

Pasilla chili is an essential ingredient in many classic Mexican recipes, including mole negro, where its deep flavor contributes to the distinctive chocolate sauce, and salsa borracha, a strong and flavorful salsa with either beer or the fermented agave drink pulque. It also works great in soups, enchiladas, tamales and marinades, where it adds heat and depth without being overpowering.

To use pasilla chili, it is often soaked in hot water, blended and used as a base for sauces and stews. It can also be lightly dry-fried in a pan to bring out its aromatic properties. Pasilla chili comes in a beautiful and practical packaging that preserves freshness and quality. A must-have for anyone who wants to explore true Mexican gastronomy at home.
