Ancho and Chipotle chillies
I was already thinking about making a mexican type pork stew dish tonight and while I was in Tesco I found packets of these chillies.
I might put one of each in it tonight but do you have any ideas for recipes for the rest of them?

Just thought i'd post some of the info on the packs
Dried Ancho Chillies Ancho meaning wide is a broad, thick fleshed chilli. It is a dried poblano chilli and its drying process creats sweet and mild fruit flavours. The chilli is suited to slow cooked dishes and sauces. Dried Chipotle Chillies Chipotle meaning 'smoked chilli' in the aztec language, is the fully ripe red jalapeno, smoke-dried for a deep richness. Added to soup or stew the chipotle chilli adds a meaty and smoky depth of flavour. |

Found your post and hunted around for some images that other people might be interested to see.

Aside from making sauces, perhaps chop them up and infuse them with some different oils for cooking/dipping? Or, skip the grilling and soaking process by removing the seeds and stems and grinding them into a powder to be used in a dry rub, or to make chipotle mayo, chipotle salt, etc...

Rehydrate the ancho and make the best chile relleno you've ever had.

Degsy, what aisle of the supermarket did you get them in? I don't shop in Tesco very often, but I've never noticed them when I have (I mean in a big tesco extra)
In my Tesco at the end of the isle they have salt & pepper, then the jars of spices (tesco own and schwartz) and then they have Tesco Finest when they have things like vanilla pods, cinnamon sticks, saffron and the chillies. |
