CloseAncho chilli is a cornerstone of Mexican cuisine, known for its rich, smoky flavour and mild heat. It is a dried poblano pepper, with a distinctive taste profile. Anchos are dark reddish-brown in colour with a wrinkled appearance.
What do ancho chillies taste of?
Ancho chillies boast a complex flavour profile, with deep, fruity notes, a subtle earthiness, and mild heat. Often used in sauces, stews, and marinades, ancho chillies are a staple in Mexican dishes like mole, enchiladas, and salsas.
Ancho chillies tend to be used in the form of ancho chilli flakes or ancho chilli powder. Alternatively, the whole dried peppers can be soaked in hot water to rehydrate, then blended into a paste.
