RECIPES USING ANCHO CHILES (by Diana Kennedy)



ANCHOS are the favorite chile for flavoring Chili Con Carne. Toast in skillet as shown below and either soak and blend to puree, or place in blender or coffee grinder and make chili powder. One Ancho equals 1 Tbsp. chili powder.



TO PREPARE ANCHOS: Toast 4 large Ancho chiles lightly on a griddle, turning from time to time so that they do not burn, for 2-4 minutes. Slit chiles and remove seeds, veins and stems. Put chiles into a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 20 minutes.
