Pasilla Peppers – 8 oz

Description

Organically grown Pasilla Peppers.  Green Pasilla chiles are one of the most complexly flavored mild to medium heat chiles.  At their peak ripeness, their elongated, heart-shaped, curved and contorted pod is glossy, deep green and thick. The chile contains a cotton-textured membrane laden with small white seeds. When cut, the chile’s aromas reveal a preview of its flavors: spicy, earthy, rich and bright. Cooking the chile brings out more flavor profiles, offering depth and undertones both smoky and savory. Aged and dried forms of Pasillas become significantly warmer and develop more depth in flavor.   The Green Pasilla Pepper is almost always cooked vs. raw. Cooking the chile reveals the Green Pasilla’s greatest qualities. Green Pasilla chiles should be fire roasted to obtain the most optimal flavor and texture. Though they are ubiquitously stuffed with rich creamy cheese sauces, black beans, potatoes, seafood, eggs and pork and often fried, they can also be eaten with the simple addition of olive oil and sea salt. Green Pasilla pair well with other chile flavors such as guajillo and chipotle, herbs such as cilantro, epazote and oregano, earthy flavors such as mushrooms, and cheeses such as feta, gorgonzola and pecorino. Cooked Green Pasilla can be preserved by freezing them in an air tight container, extending their shelf-life by approximately six months.
