Confused about Chiles? Recipe
Depending on whether they're fresh or dried, the same chiles may be called by different names, which can make recipes confusing.
Here's a list of the names of some common chiles in fresh and dried form:
Fresh pimentos/dried paprika
Fresh poblanos/dried anchos
Fresh jalapeños/dried chipotles
Fresh serranos/dried japones
Fresh pasillas/dried chilacas
Fresh Anaheims/dried chile seco del norte, chile de la tierra, largo
Colorado, or California chile pods.
Cutting and Seeding Dried Chilis:
1. Dried chiles are often leathery and can be difficult to cut with a knife. A pair of scissors does the job with ease. To begin, snip off and discard the stem.
2. Beginning at the stem end, cut chile lengthwise in half.
3. Use your fingers to brush out seeds from inside chile halves.
4. Cut seeded halves into thin stripes that can be toasted, stir-fried, or
added to sauces and salsas.
