PASILLA CHILE POWDER
Pronounced “pah-SEE-yah” the word Pasilla is derived from the word “Pasa” which translates to “little black raisin”. Pasilla Negro Chiles is a member of the chile species Capsicum annuum. Like many chiles, these are known as one thing when fresh and are called something else when dried. The Pasilla Chile is the dried version of the Chilaca chile, pronounced “chih-LAH-kuh”.
Pasilla is the dried version of the long and narrow chilaca pepper. They have an earthy flavor and are used in sauces like mole and are often combined with fruits and are excellent served with seafood, stews, lamb, fennel, honey, mushrooms, duck, garlic, or oregano.
Release the full flavor of these dried chiles, by boiling them in water for about 10 minutes or until soft. One way of preparing this type of chile is to stuff it with cheese and deep fry it (chile Relleno). Pasilla chiles are known as Chile Pasilla, Pasilla Negro and Chile Negro.Ground to a fine powder, US #30 screen
