Chipotle Morita Chilli – Authentic Pecan Smoked

Description

Chipotle is my favourite chilli! Its the base to our Furious Sauce and great in sooooo many different things.

Chipotle is unique in the food world let alone chilli world, with its unique smoking process, using pecan shells to create a sweet nutty flavour.

Jalapenos are used as the chilli base, allowed to mature to full red to provide a citrus sweet flavour.

The jalapeno is smoked and dried for a few days to create the wonderful chipotle chilli.

Chipotle means smoked pepper from the Aztecs making this drying process one of the oldest still in use today!

The chipotle adds a deep sweet smokey flavour to any food just like its been cooked over an open flame. Add to any dish from spag bol to BBQ pit beans and a range of authentic Mexican dishes

Each chipotle pod weighs approx 7g but will vary.

The chipotle can be chopped up and used in any sauce, 5mins of simmering will soften the skin, release its wonderful smokey flavour.

A little warm water and 5-10 mins the chipotle can be blended to make a paste and used as you wish.

One of my favourite things to do with it is to soak a few in warm water for 10 mins then blitz with mayonnaise to create a wonderfully smokey spicy mayonnaise.
