Those suckers are > BIG (to me at least - I'm used to Thai hots and hab's and other small > peppers.) I use 'em fresh in place of bell peppers. Allowed to ripen, they can be used in place of fresh red bells or dried and ground for use in chile powders or recipes calling for mild to medium heat ground red chile or they can be reconstituted whole for use in making chile sauces and moles. Dried pablanos are known as ancho chiles. Anchos have a medium heat and rich, complex flavor...thus their use is more for flavor than heat. -- Rich McCormack (Poway, CA) macknet@cts.com Who is Rich McCormack?
