Dried Hatch New Mexico Chile Pepper, Red Chili Pods, 4 oz, 8 oz, and 1 lb (1 LB)

Good for homemade New Mexico enchiladas.

I am using these peppers plus pasilla peppers plus gaujillo peppers for a Texas Chili recipe that uses seven of these peppers. My recipe for authentic Texas style chili uses no beans, no tomato products, no chili powder, and no jalapeños; mostly just meat, water, and a puree made from the peppers, plus an onion and cumin. Very different from my go-to recipe and very good, gives me some variety during Chili Season. I've already made the recipe three times and it looks like there are still enough peppers to make it at last six more times. They come very dried out (pepper paper!), the first part of the cooking process is to 1) toast them, 2) add water and soak, and 3) puree them. I don't understand how toasting the dried peppers makes them more "pliable," I guess it is bringing out the oils (?). *** 9-26-24 *** I could not find these peppers in the local grocery stores, not even the local Mexican grocery store, because I was looking in the fresh produce section (I was thinking like jalapeño peppers or poblano peppers). I later found two of the three in the grocery store Hispanic aisle as dried peppers the same as I found here on amazon.

Excellent flavor, flexible, easy to seed and not much cleaning necessary. Will purchase again!

My favorite dried peppers - will buy again

Very good chili pods. Makes excellent meal along with tortillas.

I’ve made chili Colorado with them twice. It turned out great.
