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

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.

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

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

So much flavor

Perfect for tamales.

The chilies were pliable and not dried out like paper some chilis are.

The peppers arrived completely brittle and dried up. They were not pliable and flexible, as dried peppers should be. I had to throw them away.

Are you a fan of flavor? Buy these dried chilis.They came fresh and still flexible.
