>From: "Karen" <kaheinen@bellsouth.net> >What type of chiles does everyone add to their chili? For the heat, any hot to medium red will do for me. But I base the liquid on a red sauce I make from dried mild reds like California or some of the New Mex variants. You can have a lot of rich pepper flavor without a lot of heat - the beauty of heat being that you can always add it to your own serving. Try adding some smoked hab for the heat; the smokiness plugs into the rest of the flavors in the chile, and the sweet frutiness is much less noticeable. Chipotle works well, too. - A _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
