Pasilla Ground Chile

The Pasilla Chile is the dried version of the Chilaca chile, pronounced "chih-LAH-kuh".  Pronounced “pah-SEE-yah” the word Pasilla is derived from the word “pasa” which means “little black raisin”.  The taste is pungent and tangy but with a long lasting deep rich flavor with woodsy undertones.  Pasilla Chiles pair well with duck, fennel, fruits, garlic, lamb, Mexican oregano, mushrooms, chocolate, basil, and chocolate. Add this chile to spice blends, stews. seafood, tacos, burritos, burgers, and your favorite cream sauce.
