Product Review
The most commonly used of the dried Mexican chiles, the large, flat, green-black ancho is actually a dried poblano pepper. Their distinctive and beloved flavor is essential to a wide variety of Mexican dishes, and one of the key reasons that they (along with pasilla and mulato chiles) are part of the Mexican 'Holy Trinity,' essential for making mole and so much more. Try using a mexican mortar and pestle.
