Product Review

A fantastically under-appreciated chile, the pasilla (pah-SEE-yah) are fantastic for their ability to contribute a fruity, yet earthy and bold flavor that partners perfectly with beef, seafood, duck, lamb, mushrooms, fennel, and vegetables. It shines in sauces or moles containing garlic, honey, and/or oregano. It's also an essential flavor in the tortilla soups of Central Mexico, and (along with ancho and mulato chiles) an indispensable member of the Mexican 'Holy Trinity.' try using a mexican mortar and pestle.
