Dried Ancho Chillies (50g) - £1.99
Price on 04-Jun-08 from Scorchio.
Scoville Rating: 2500-3000 Country of Origin: Mexico A large triangular, dark pepper which is the dried version of the popular Poblano Chilli. Extremely popular in Mexico this is a must have ingredient in Enchiladas. This is a mild, sweet chilli with a deep almost chocolatey flavour that adds richness to cooking. Like the Guajillo this large fleshy pepper needs a longer soak/cook to fully release its flavour but it's worth the wait. A good tip for a fuller flavour is to lightly toast the pepper on a hot pan before use.

Dried Mulato Chillies (50g) - £1.99
Price on 04-Jun-08 from Scorchio.
Similar to the Ancho with a complex flavour, this mild large pepper is the dried version of the Poblano varieties of chillies. With subtle elements of liquorice, cherry, raisins and tobacco it is great as a base for sauces or marinades as well as adding richness to sauces. Our tip is to soak one, chop it finely and add it to a bolognaise to transform an ordinary spag bol to something special. Its also great ingredient for use with the huge variety of delicious Poblano Chicken recipes.
