The famous flavour of Chipotle comes from drying and smoking Jalapeno peppers! 

Although Chipotle is mainly known for its smoky taste, it’s also among the hottest chilis in Mexico! Surpassed by Arbol, but hotter than Ancho, Pasilla and Guajillo.

Anything is good with Chipotle, try giving a kick to classic foods like ground beef or shredded chicken. Or make delicious Chipotle mayo at home! 

To maximize flavour, it is recommended that you rehydrate them or grind them. 

Steps to rehydrate:

  1. Start by searing them on a pan
  2. Remove the stem and the seeds
  3. Place in boiling water until the texture is soft

Extra tip: add some onions to the water, then transfer directly to the blender along with some tomatoes and a splash of the same water. This is the base ingredient for many delicious sauces! 

 

Steps to grind:

  1. Remove the stems and most of the seeds
  2. Cut into smaller piece
  3. Grind using a coffee grinder

Extra tip: We don’t recommend using the same coffee grinder for coffee later! Unless you like really HOT coffee 

 


Heat lovers: if spice is your priority, we actually recommend leaving the seeds and only removing the stems. In that case, rehydrating the chilis is a better alternative over grinding them because the process of searing them on the pan will bring out the spice.
