Chile Morita 1kg and 4.5kg
TASTE:
The dried Morita chile Pepper is very similar to the Chipotle pepper.
The main difference in between is that dried Morita chile peppers are smoked for less time, leaving them softer and retaining their modest fruity flavor.
USES:
The dried Morita pepper has a smoky rich flavor and is commonly used in Mexican and Central American cuisines.
Since it is a very hot-sweet pepper it is used in Mexican hot salsas and to marinate meat, chicken, or pork dishes.
RECIPES:
Prepare your own chile sauce (2 cups)
INGREDIENTS:
12 dried chile pods
2c water
1 t salt
2 T oil
1 T flour
1/3 oregano
DIRECTIONS:
Wash the chillies under running water remove the chilli stems, seeds and veins (leave the seeds for a hotter sauce).
Place the washed chillies into a pan with 2 cups of water and stir for 10min. The chilli flesh will become soft. Put the mixture into a blender and pure until smooth. (Optional: strain to remove any possible seeds or skin).
From here on in, it’s all about your own personal taste.
If you are not using all the red chilli pure right away, it can be frozen at this point. Simplify and use it exactly as you would fresh pure in any recipe.

Heat the oil in a pan, add the flour and mix quickly, pour the chilli pure and stir until thicken.
Add salt, oregano, cumin and garlic powder, reduce the heat and stir for few minutes. If is to hot, add some water or tomato juice.
Your chilli sauce is now ready.
