Re: Warhorse Short Ribs
Posted: 08 Mar 2012, 23:12Hi guys,
Pretty sure Ancho's are just dried, as far as I'm aware the only smoked chillis are Chipotles. If you are looking for something with loads of flavour but not much heat then Mulato and Pasilla chillis are also very good - combined with the ancho they are sometimes known as the 'mexican holy trinity'. Whenever I've used them before I've usually toasted and then reconstituted them in hot water before blending and adding to food - lots of liquorice, chocolate and tobacco notes! I did recently add a powdered version to a rib rub and it went down very well.
If you want something with a little more heat then chipotles are the next step up, with the bonus of a smoky flavour. Most common are Morita which are fairly quickly smoked jalapenos; harder to find are Meco which are still Jalapenos but smoked slowly for approx 3-4 days over wood fires - visually they resemble a cigar butt but the flavour is exceptional.
Not sure if I'm aloud to post links to businesses but theres a guy in brighton called Pete who does a huge range of chillis and sauces! I've bought from him before at a good price with superb quality.
Cheers
Neil
