The sweetest chile in Mexican cooking. Ancho tastes like raisins and dried plum with a cocoa finish and just a whisper of smoke. It brings body and richness rather than heat. It's what makes a sauce taste deep instead of sharp.

Best for mole, adobo, slow-cooked pork and beef, tamale sauce, birria base.

Ancho is the foundation. Start with it, then layer a hotter chile on top.

  • Dried poblano. Raisin, plum and cocoa, deep rather than hot.
  • Yield: ½ cup = 6 guajillo chiles

    Enchilada sauce in the time it takes to heat the pan.

    Stir it into the broth and let it do the rest.

  • Marinades

    With lime, garlic, cumin and oregano, for anything you grill.

    A spoonful deepens the colour and the flavour at once.

Side by side
