3.2 oz Dry Chile Guajillo Peppers. Traditiones de Cocina; Traditional Ingredients

3.2 oz Dry Chile Guajillo Peppers. Any kitchen worthy of cooking traditional Mexican dishes must have as part of their cooking arsenal a package of dry Chile Guajillo. Chile Guajillo is derived from the Mirasol pepper, which translates to “looking at the sun”. These peppers grow pointing towards the sky, hence the name. These peppers are used in dishes not because of their spiciness but because of their flavor and coloring qualities. They pair perfectly with the spiciness offered by the Chile de Arbol Peppers. Guajillo peppers have a rich, slightly earthy, and fruity flavor profile. You can rehydrate them whole, fry them, or grind them into a powder for use in all sorts of recipes.
