Dried Chipotles 1 oz

$5.29 Earthy Delights: Chipotles 1 oz Dried Chipotles - Earthy Delights Chipotles are a true culinary gem. The distinctive flavor of the Chipotle or “smoked Chile” is created by smoking and drying fresh jalapeno chile peppers. This process gives the jalapeno a unique, medium-hot smoke flavor that continues to entice a global palate. To reconstitute or to create a softer chile, soak the Chipotles in hot tap water or warm stock for 20-60 minutes, then drain. The longer you soak the Chipotle, the softer it will become; however, soaking the Chipotles too long may weaken the flavor. Make sure to reserve the liquid to use as a flavorful addition to stock. Toasting the CHipotle before re-hydrating will enhance the depth and complexity of the flavor, but keep in mind toasting is not required in the use of the Chipotle. The Chipotle will last for 12 to 24 months if kept in low humidity and alone in a plastic bag or container.
