Dried Cascabel Chili Pepper (Chile Cascabel) 1 Lb

The cascabel chili (little bell), also known as the rattle chili, is another of the marvelous Mexican Chiles member of the Capsicum annuum species. The 'rattle' and 'bell' designations describe the tendency of loose seeds to rattle inside a dried cascabel when shaken. The Cascabel is a plump, round, smooth and small chile that ripens from green to red. When dried, the color darkens to a deep reddish-brown with an almost transparent but thick skin. When mature they are about 1-1/2” in diameter.

• The cascabel chili is another of the marvelous Mexican Chiles member of the Capsicum annuum species.
• They are perfect to roast on a hot skillet before using and then they can either be ground or rehydrated in warm water so they can then be made into a paste or a sauce.
• The nutty taste of roasted Cascabel’s pairs equally well with tomatoes or tomatillos in casseroles, enchiladas, fajitas, salsas, sauces, soups, stews, tamales and tacos.
