Guajillo Pepper Sauce
Recipe
|
A
guajillo chili (chile guajillo in Spanish) is a variety of chili
pepper of the species Capsicum annuum, which is widely used in
the cuisine of Mexico.
Its
fruits are large and mild in flavor, with only a small amount of
heat (rating 2,500 to 5,000 on the Scoville scale). They are
used to make the salsa for tamales; the dried fruits are seeded,
soaked, pulverized to a thin paste, then cooked with salt and
several other ingredients to produce a thick, red, flavorful
sauce. |
