Chipotle Peppers

Chipotle Black and Red "Morita" Chile Peppers

Black and Red Chipotle chiles average around a 6 on the 1-10 heat scale. These chiles, nicknamed "Morita" are more attractive than the brown chipotles, with flavor a bit fuller and fruitier. They average 10 chiles per ounce in dried form. These peppers have been the hottest (figuratively) in America's current enthrallment with chiles. One of several varieties of jalapenos gently roasted over a fire, the end result packs a good amount of zip with a nice smokey flavor.

Add them to salsa, chili, beans and rice, spicy breadsticks, corn bread, or barbeque sauces.

If you buy them canned in adobo sauce, it will be hard to decide which you like better, the smoky, plump, moist red peppers or the spicy adobo sauce! Most chile recipes will call for the use of both, but it’s fun to experiment. If you puree the chile peppers and mix them back into the sauce, you have a fabulous hot barbeque sauce for ribs, chops or chicken. Also great in baked beans. Ingredients: chipotle chiles, tomatoes, wine vinegar, onion, vegetable oil, salt and spices.
