Description:

The Pasilla (Pa-see-ya) Negro is a traditional chile used in both Southwestern and American dishes. Long, black, slightly bent and wrinkled, this flat chile measures about 6 inches long and 1 ½ inch wide. Richly colored like an Eggplant or a Raisin, this thin-fleshed chile has an offbeat berry flavor with herbaceous tones. The word Pasilla comes from the word "PASA" meaning "little raisin" in Spanish. Pasilla Negros, combined with the Ancho and Guajillo, form the "holy trinity" of chiles used to prepare the traditional mole sauces. In California, the Ancho Chile is called Pasilla. Scoville heat units are 1,000-2,000. The Pasilla Negro powder (40 mesh) is made from grinding whole Pasilla Negros, seeds and pod both.

Ingredient Statement:

Pasilla Negro Chiles.

Use Pasilla Negro in traditional Mexican recipes. Be adventurous, add Pasilla Negro to meatloaf, beef stew, or corn chowder. This chile will liven up an everyday cream sauce or egg dishes. Combine Pasilla Negro Chiles with your favorite spices for tangy heat. Use the powdered form of this wonderful chili to make your own chili spice. Rub onto chicken or pork before grilling, sprinkle with lemon juice and butter onto fish before baking. Dust on popcorn with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese for a late-night snack. Combine with your favorite dipping chocolate for exotic candies or dipped pretzels. Try in hot chocolate or chicken broth.
