Dried Guajillo Chilli Peppers 100g

Dried guajillo chillies are one of the great workhorses of Mexican cooking, known for their glossy deep red colour, leathery skin and beautifully balanced flavour. They bring a bright, fruity character with gentle tart berry notes, a touch of green tea-like earthiness and a light smoky edge.

Mild to medium in heat at around 2,500 to 5,000 SHU, guajillos are more about depth and colour than aggressive fire. Lightly toast them, soak in hot water, then blend into smooth pastes for red moles, adobos, salsas, marinades and braised meat stews.
