The Mexican Pantry
By Hester
Be ready for a Mexican meal at a moment's notice by keeping these ingredients on hand
- CHIPOTLE PEPPERS - Find these smoked jalapenos sold in cans labeled "chipotle peppers in adobo sauce." Available at many grocery stores, the pepers and sauce add smoky heat to sauces and stews.
- DRIED NEW MEXICO CHILE PEPPER - This mild, flavorful chile offers an excellent choice for your first forays into cooking with dried chiles.
- ANCHO CHILE PEPPER - A dried poblano chile pepper is called and ancho chile pepper. These mild chiles possess caramel, raising, and fruit flavors.
- DRIED GUAJILLO CHILE PEPPER - the guajillo is fruity and mild, much like the New Mexico Pepper. Dried chiles last up to a year in the pantry, but they are most flavorful the first few months after purchase.
- POBLANO PEPPER - This bulbous chile can be roasted, or stuffed and fried for chiles relleno. When dried, it is called an ancho chile.
- JALEPENO PEPPER - Easily the most popular chile pepper in the US, the jalapeno can be minced or sliced and served raw, or it can be stuffed, cooked and served as a popper.
- CHILI POWDER - This blend of ground chilies, cumin, oregano and other spices is not to be confused with ancho chile powder, which is just the ground chiles.
- MEXCIAN CHORIZO - The raw pork sausage is seasoned with ground chiles, cumin, and other spices. It's an excellent companion to potatoes, eggs, or chicken.
- SPANISH CHORIZO - Not to be confused with Mexican chorizo,m this cured sausage is firm like pepperoni. Its unique flavor comes from the smoked paprika, garlic, herbs, and salt.
