Pasillas are one of the most popular chiles and delicious in soups and sauces. Whole Chili Pasilla is made from chilaca peppers that have been dried, resulting in a black wrinkled surface and a long, narrow and twisted appearance. It has rich flavour with berry, grape and licorice notes and a mild to medium heat. Chili Pasilla is one of three chilies used to make the traditional Oaxacan Mole Negro. Great addition to seafood.
