I’ve been putting 2 or 3 of these dried chili’s (along with a few whole garlic gloves) in every pot of pinto beens I’ve made for years. Like Cowboy Kent says, these dried pods aren’t hot/ but the layer of flavors they add to a simple pot of beens is amazing! My husband, who is a real big meat eater, is happy with a big bowl of pinto beans & a fresh batch of flour tortillas. note: add salt 30 minutes before beans are tender. ❤️
I cook pinto beans all the time but just put garlic, onion and salt. Exactly which dried Chile do you use, I want to try it. And you put it while it's boiling right? Or do you refried them with the dried Chile because sometimes when I refried them I'll put a Serrano in the lard or sometimes Chile de arbol when I fried them.
I rehydrate the guajillos and the chili de arbol and blend to the desired consistency. Add chili de arbol to the guajillos to the desired heat level. Then I use this as a marinade for pork or goat prior to grilling!
I use all 4 to one degree or another plus several others from my garden, I use for homemade seasonings, sauces, and add on's to make a vittles that much more special! Have to make a lot of my own blends due to a heart condition and salt is not much of of a option for me any longer. Love the videos and your Salute to the Military Vets!! God Bless you and your family along with future company development.
I've read and heard that preppers don't just gather food (to the rafters they say), but also seasonings. Dried chilies make an excellent seasonings to have in any difficult day giving you even a new perspective on any problem and not just hot flavor to the food. That powerful is the magic of spices. Congratulations.
My version of chili always has dried morita peppers. The smokiness, the chocolate flavor, and the sweet heat... man, I love those things. I made the perfect chili once using leftover brisket. Little threads of beef in every spoonful. It had incredible smokiness. Take care and God bless.
i knew i should have bought a package of each. i made red chili stew a few days ago with the guajillos. they were amazing. now i have to go back and get some moritas. i didn't know anything about them.
No matter where I live in the US I have always had a love for Hatch green. Anytime I see something with them in it at the store I buy it, and if I ever want to relive being in the southwest I have jars or freezer dried packages of them shipped to me because they are just so tasty. But still can't beat going to a grocery store in NM and seeing someone fresh roasting them by the entrance.
In NM you buy a large burlap sack of fresh green Hatch chiles at the grocery, then take them to someone who flame roasts them in a big rotating wire cage. These are in the grocery parking lot or along the roads nearby. Red chiles there are the same variety picked later, and air dried instead of roasted. The chile heat level tolerance is a lot more in the Southwest than elsewhere. You can even get spicy green chile on a burger at McDonalds in NM.
Oh boy! I love Hatch Green Chiles. I just bought 6 40oz jars of the 505 brand from Costco this week. I have some dried Hatch I want to make Enchilada sauce and can it. Anyone got a good recipe for red Enchilada sauce to can?
I've been watching your videos for a while now and I have to say nothing makes me smile more on RUclips. I'm from the UK and could quite happily listen to you talk all day. Your accent, enthusiasm and natural charisma are so infectious. You clearly love what you do and it really shows. If the world strived to be as happy and clearly content as you are instead of focusing on all the material b/s the world would be a far more joyful place. In your words 'I tip my hat to you' congratulations and many thanks from your viewers in the UK.
Howdy Sir, your niece has been my nephew's nurse in the hospital right now. She told me you call her Butch. She also told me you did cooking videos when she saw me watching videos in my nephew's hospital room where he is right now after major surgery. I really enjoy your videos. You're my kind of people. Thank you for helping me smile while my nephew's there.
I love the chilies de Arbol fried and salted like chips! I take a heavy cast-iron pan hand heat about 4 table spoons of lard and a pinch of salt till it is almost smoking . Then put a small handful of the chilies de arbol in the hot oil they will fry fast and get crispy quick . I take them out when they crisp up and float . Maybe 6 to 10 seconds . I put them on a paper to drain and sprinkle them with fine ground salt. I eat them like candy lol. Great with beans and soups or just snacking on with a beer.
There's a Chinese recipe that's basically this! But instead of actual frying it gets toasted in a pile of salt while you stir it. It's really interesting.
im newly obsessed with chilis. just buying and tasting all i can get my hands on. even growing them. . i put red chili powder & flakes in my homemade salsa. better than any store bought salsa
I am new to peppers of this nature. Here is what I'm doing now, I'm winging it. Slow cooker on low with 1 box of beef broth and a 2.5 lb chuck roast. Added cayenne pepper and minced onion. On the side I'm going to boil these peppers till they soften, then blend em in a magic bucket with 1 whole tomato and a can or Rotella. I'll add that too the slow cooker and stir it in. 8 hours later (estimated I don't know) I'll pull the beef apart and make tacos. I'll probably skillet cook the tacos with shredded sheese covered in whatever "broth" is left over from slow cooker. It's also a dipping sauce for the tacos
Kent I just wanted to thank you for your cooking videos. My wife and myself loved to watch. We have one of your cook books and your wood stirer. My wife of 22 years passed away unexpectedly on October third. But I can watch your videos and remember the fun we had watching you. So again thank you and God bless..
You Tip Your hat to Us! I in respond! Salute You and Family for Keeping me Entertained with Real Information! Love Dried Peppers! Every One Has a Unique Flavor! Thank You
My mom had a recipe called Chile gravy. She just simmered about 5 or 6 pasilla peppers and some stew beef for hours on the stove. You throw the peppers out in the end and add salt. It's really simple, but it's a spicy meaty gravy that you put over mashed potatoes. So good!!
Dried chiles are great. I usually boil them to rehydrate and use them to make carne adovada or chile relleno all the time. Though, if you keep keep dry and grind them down (seeds or no seeds, depending on your heat tolerance or liking), they make good with some eggs and beans
Yes I see them at the supermarket and pass them by. Thank you for the great advice. I'm going to add them to my ham hocks and pinto beans see the results on my family faces.
I live in the Czech republic and like to make Tamales so, Guajillo and Ancho chilies go in the red sauce! Sorry, Kent but I can't use your recipe, on account of all the lard. I did find a 'low-fat' version that's very similar though, so you do get some credit! It's not too easy to find dried Mexican chilies here but so worth the search! When I do find them, I buy 3 bags at a time...
those dried anchos are the base chili flavor for my homemade enchilada sauce... rehydrate, boil, blend with some onions, green peppers, other spices... amazing without the overpowering heat some chilis have
Thank you for this informational on these chili's. We have easy access to them here in Arizona and I have hesitated to use them as I didn't have any guidance on them or the heat levels really. So again thank you much!! I will let you know how it goes. Hugs to all. 🇺🇸
They are simple. I used them (guajillos) for the very first time ever this past Friday. Unbelievably good. I used a whole chuck roast. I started out making Texas Red Chili, then I commeted a sin by adding tomatoes, kidney beans, corn, okra, potatoes, carrots, onions and celery and made a stew out of it. I still have a couple of bowls left, which probably won't see the light of day. I had to add Tobasco sauce for some heat.
Hey Kent, i was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. My parents are from Guanajuato, Mexico. These are great chile peppers. Chiles de Arbol and fresh chile Pequin peppers are also very popular in Mexican dishes. Saludos amigo!
Been a huge fan of dried chiles for a while now. I discovered them from a friend from Acapulco, and I've had them to hand ever since. Thanks for the overview!
Cowboy Kent, I’m glad you mentioned these chilis used in MOLE. I decided to quit whinin’ about the restaurant lockdowns and I dang well learned to make all our favorite dishes- from you & other experts- at home, and that’s where I noticed that ancho chilis have sort of a raisin flavor.
Great job watching and learning 68 yrs old and don’t know the first thing about dried chilies can’t take a lot of heat but like the smoke taste need all the help I can get
I was blown away by the incredible smell of Kent's Mexican rice dish, which calls for ancho and serrano chilis. So much so I'm going to make another batch probably tomorrow. Bought the Roma tomato that's needed, and I've got plenty of garlic! I've used poblano and jalapeno chilis before, but never ancho until Kent's rice dish. That's gonna change!
We've often planted, raised, dried & cooked with peppers of all kinds.They are beautiful in the garden & wonderful to use many ways. I truly appreciate your prep vids on how to use these wonderful dehydrated fruits. The local box store has added a specific area for Mexican, Oriental, & other exotic to the midwest seasonings. I ABSOLUTELY love Mexican whole dryed oregano and the dried cumin w/seeds. I haven't been able to get some if the spices but love the flavors & would sure appreciate resources & seasonings uses of them. Over the years we realised that some of the very hottest peppers also make a good soak for aching ankles, feet, & hands, as long as the juice doesnt not get it in the eyes!
you honor us all, whether it be USAF, USMC, USAC..... that is the single thing I find most attractive about your videos. :) We fight, we die. We get forgotten.
There's a tiny, spherical-shaped pepper from northwest Mexico, they call it "chiltepin". It has a great taste. I recommend you look into it, Mr. Rollins. Cheers.
It's the National Chili Pepper of Texas. :-) It grows wild where I live. I always have some on hand. It makes a very attractive perennial plant with lots of little white flowers that you can grow in a decent-sized pot.
To the inexperienced cook, be careful with these little guys. They're way hotter than the Chile de árbol and come in at about 50,000-100,000 on the scoville scale.
Thanks Sr. Chiles are part of my culture I was Born in Guatemala there grandma use to make delicius food with them, now here in Nederland I can buy them in supermarkten and cook lekker 😋 for my kids!
I dry my Poblanos, Anaheim, Seranos, Tai, and Habaneros. Put em on a large pizza pan (Pizza hut was throwing out there old used ones and there great for dry racks) and put it in a sunny side room. Great all winter long. I just made a Bone and Veggie stock from dried vegitable's from my garden. Great for stews, soup and sauces :)
I've learned that if you ever want to win a Yankee chili competition, dried chilis are critical. There is something so completely 'next level' about the complex flavor they add. Even if you don't win, you'll have people begging you for your secret recipe. I won't even attempt to go against Texas pros, they do sorcerer's magic... but up here in the snow belt, it's easy to blow them away with flavor 😁.
I use these same peppers! Love them in my beef stews , chili con carne, tamales, or enchiladas. I boil them to soften, then purée to a paste. The paste freezes well for future use
Many years ago, my Aunt in New Mexico sent us a ristra of new mexico chiles. The Post hadn't been kind to it, and there were a lot of pieces and a ton of crumbles in the bag. We pulled out the ristra and hung it up, sorted out all the big pieces and bagged them up, and were left with probably 2-3 cups worth of crumbles in the bottom of the trashbag it was packed in. My Dad had the idea of having Mom hold open a freezer bag, and me and him would up end the trashbag and pour them in. NOT a great plan. When the dust in there got airborne, it was like tear gas... Literally ran the three of us right out of the house, with our eyes burning, noses running, throats on fire, and tears streaming down our faces! But BOY were those some tasty peppers! Deep spicy, earthy taste- and packed a wallop too. I made some chili with them, once. Tasted awesome! My buddy screamed after each bite, because it was a fair bit hotter than I'd intended- but he kept going back for more!
Over your left shoulder against the wall to the corner appears to be forms for coyote hides. Many years ago I bought , graded and sold some of the finest coyote skins, referred to as the milk River ridge and cut bank coyotes. Stunning coloration and dense fur quality.
That video nearly brought tears to my eyes- tears back I was on the Chili curcuit( I CS ) we would come down - see and buy a few dried chilies - but didn’t know much about them- now I can’t get them up in Canada 🇨🇦 and you have a video on the forbidden fruit- which I crave - and can’t cross the border to even get /( great falls / into Idaho!!!- I sure wish we could just go down and get dried chilies!!- keep up the good videos!!
I have them all in my spice cabinet from watching earlier videos from Cowboy Kent an they have all taken my cooking to a much higher level of flavor! Awesome video, thank you Kent and I’ll see you down the dried peppers 🌶 trail!!
this is the first time I've seen a video explaining the differences of those dried out chilis I would always see at the grocery store. Thanks Mr. Kent, now I gotta see how they go with my oatmeal.....
Thank you! Because of this channel, Shannon and Kent introduced me to dried chilis for many dishes. And because of the cold winter I am experiencing, dried chilis in stews and chili dishes kept my belly warm for long hours.
Thanks for sharing with us Kent and Shannon, you're doing a great job with all your seasonings and being able to season things right is an art. You folks have that touch with the brush. Keep up the great videos and your products. Fred.
Kent I'm officially committed now I am. Your such a down to earth man and have love for life. Your true to your ways and love what you do and the history with it. I bought your first book today and I'll be honest it's the first book I bought in over 5 years. I can't wait to read it because you sir are an inspiration.
Best chillies for cooking: the ones picked from your own garden/balcony! :) Had some kind of undefined Rawit (dang, they were hot) and Georgia Black last year, all either frozen or chopped, mixed with kosher salt and then dried up in the oven, makes good presents, too! Greetings from Germany!
I use dried pasilla or guahilla chilies in my BBQ Sauce. I seed them and reconstitute them in warm apple juice and then hit them smooth with my ninja and add it to my honey BBQ sauce. Excellent on pork, especially, between the apple juice and the peppers themselves
Excellent idea. I do a lot of smoking meats and never thought of using the chiles with Bbq sauces. I have ordered “rib candy” from Texas and use it all the time but now I’ll work on making my own. Thanks for the info😋
I Love your yse of these peppers. Reminds me of my grandma's and grandpa's cooking. They used all these peppers. I love cooking your recipes. Thanks for the update.
I appreciate this Tutorial a Lot! I grew up in San Diego and live in Phoenix, AZ. Needless to say, I cook a lot of my own Mexican food and spicy foods. I've tried using these once or twice before in the crockpot with a little bit of success. My challenge to my cooking self (been teaching myself to cook for about 8 years now) is to do my own sauces and experiment with things I havent used much of. Broaden my flavor profile even more. This will help a lot. Thanks Kent!
Thank you Kent. It is so much better to use dried chilis than to use that powder from a store. I would love to see your take on homemade Beef Chorizo and also a good Mole sauce.
@@kathyberger6650 I typically do about 8 ancho, 7 guajillo, 5 New Mexico, 4-5 chipotle, Mexican oregano, 1/2 white onion, 2 garlic cloves, salt and pepper for my chili. I de-seed, de-vein the peppers, chop them up and toss them on a hot skillet for a couple of minutes. Not too long on the heat or they'll get bitter. Then rehydrate them in hot water for about 20 minutes. After that they go into the food processor and, like Kent said, I use a little of the water from rehydrating them. After that I strain them to get rid of the larger pulp. That all goes into the slow cooker with whatever protein I am using and some fire roasted tomatoes for about 4 hours. The chili sauce is very rich and earthy. You can play with the different peppers to find the ratio that works best for you. I prefer a couple more ancho because it gives it a slight hint of dark chocolate. Good luck!
Thank you Kent dried peppers are hanging in my kitchen nxow. This is a good way to save peppers you grow. I string them every year. Thanks for all your videos and great recipes. I am from middle TN and love the down home cooking. God bless yall.
I will have to try some of these. I grow around 6 different peppers in the garden so I use them mostly. In the fall I pick all remaining peppers and simmer them in vinegar with garlic and onion. Once soft a blend the mess real well then strain off the juice for a hot sauce. The pulp that's left gets dehydrated and ground for a shakable pepper flake.
Yeah boy Mr. Kent. You can take a couple or one if that's all you have and make a plain pot of beans taste like it came from some uppity gourmet fancy restaurant ! Really enjoy your videos sir and a big ole , Thank You, to you and your pretty Missus, Miss Shannon for all your hard work bringing them to us plain folk !!
Recently discovered this channel. Even more recently I’ve conceded this is my favorite channel. Kent Rollins is a national treasure. Period. I daydream about being on the plains or hills among good folks like him and his compadres. Keep it up.
Thanks Ken-Shan, our cupboard never lacks a some kind of whole dried chili. One we’re looking for again is a smoked dried jalapeño. A little goes a long way with that one! Thanks again. JP.
Hello Cowboy Kent, you have reinforced why I also love cooking with those Mexican dried chilies. However, while I am a fan of the Guajillo and the New Mexican Chilies... my choice for the spicy heat is both the Chilipin and the Pequin Chilies... Chili de Arbor is good for a lot of recipes, but my preference are the two chilies I mentioned because you can control the heat much easier than relying upon the Chili Arbor alone... need more heat without going overboard add a few more Chilipins or to tame the heat down a little bit... add a few more Pequins and with both you still get great chili flavor, especially smokiness from the Pequins... Love your channel and your cooking.
Me too! For the very first time ever this past Friday. I used the guajillos. Unbelievably good. I used a whole chuck roast. Then I commeted a sin by adding tomatoes, kidney beans, corn, okra, potatoes, carrots and onions and made a stew out of it. I still have a couple of bowls left, which probably won't see tomorrow.

It’s actually dried Chile.
@Cheryl Adame Sounds Yummy ;)
@@MichaelRei99 You did your duty/ rest easy😂👍
I cook pinto beans all the time but just put garlic, onion and salt. Exactly which dried Chile do you use, I want to try it. And you put it while it's boiling right? Or do you refried them with the dried Chile because sometimes when I refried them I'll put a Serrano in the lard or sometimes Chile de arbol when I fried them.
I love Shannon asking questions like shes not the brains of the operation
I rehydrate the guajillos and the chili de arbol and blend to the desired consistency. Add chili de arbol to the guajillos to the desired heat level. Then I use this as a marinade for pork or goat prior to grilling!
Wow, that’s sounds good.😋
Ay, goat with guajillos is the best combination for a winter bbq imo!

Oh my man. I'm Mexican and Its so nice to hear that you found Morita with chocolate. It's such a killer combination ✨
Best for chili and stews. Been rehydrating for years. Course I’m 65 so that’s not that long ago😋
We toast them, soaked them, we blend it, chillies love all that, some are sweet, tangy, hot, bitter or fruity. Superb 😍
No matter where I live in the US I have always had a love for Hatch green.

Try the Pueblo chilies. A little more heat and a much thicker body than the Hatch.
In NM you buy a large burlap sack of fresh green Hatch chiles at the grocery, then take them to someone who flame roasts them in a big rotating wire cage. These are in the grocery parking lot or along the roads nearby. Red chiles there are the same variety picked later, and air dried instead of roasted.

I grow about 7 different peppers in my gardens & I can them & dry them love them all .
I freeze them too!

Thanks Sr. Chiles are part of my culture I was Born in Guatemala there grandma use to make delicius food with them, now here in Nederland I can buy them in supermarkten and cook lekker 😋 for my kids!
I LOVE how Cowboy Kent has a video on virtually everything I search for cooking wise!
I dry my Poblanos, Anaheim, Seranos, Tai, and Habaneros. Put em on a large pizza pan (Pizza hut was throwing out there old used ones and there great for dry racks) and put it in a sunny side room. Great all winter long. I just made a Bone and Veggie stock from dried vegitable's from my garden. Great for stews, soup and sauces :)
we love your channel, thanks for sharing
I've learned that if you ever want to win a Yankee chili competition, dried chilis are critical. There is something so completely 'next level' about the complex flavor they add. Even if you don't win, you'll have people begging you for your secret recipe. I won't even attempt to go against Texas pros, they do sorcerer's magic... but up here in the snow belt, it's easy to blow them away with flavor 😁.
I’ve learned So much about cooking from you it’s made me a heck of a cook. God bless!!!
I use these same peppers! Love them in my beef stews , chili con carne, tamales, or enchiladas. I boil them to soften, then purée to a paste. The paste freezes well for future use
Many years ago, my Aunt in New Mexico sent us a ristra of new mexico chiles. The Post hadn't been kind to it, and there were a lot of pieces and a ton of crumbles in the bag. We pulled out the ristra and hung it up, sorted out all the big pieces and bagged them up, and were left with probably 2-3 cups worth of crumbles in the bottom of the trashbag it was packed in.
My Dad had the idea of having Mom hold open a freezer bag, and me and him would up end the trashbag and pour them in.
NOT a great plan.
When the dust in there got airborne, it was like tear gas... Literally ran the three of us right out of the house, with our eyes burning, noses running, throats on fire, and tears streaming down our faces!
But BOY were those some tasty peppers! Deep spicy, earthy taste- and packed a wallop too. I made some chili with them, once. Tasted awesome! My buddy screamed after each bite, because it was a fair bit hotter than I'd intended- but he kept going back for more!
A chopped Guajillo in green chili pork stew adds a wonderful nuance. Why am I telling you this? I think I got that idea from you!
Over your left shoulder against the wall to the corner appears to be forms for coyote hides. Many years ago I bought , graded and sold some of the finest coyote skins, referred to as the milk River ridge and cut bank coyotes. Stunning coloration and dense fur quality.
Thank you for inspiring me to step up my chili game!!
Thanks for your hot pepper dance 🥰😂 that combination I use for my home made chorizo along with other herbs mmmm HOME MADE !!!
That video nearly brought tears to my eyes- tears back I was on the Chili curcuit( I CS ) we would come down - see and buy a few dried chilies - but didn’t know much about them- now I can’t get them up in Canada 🇨🇦 and you have a video on the forbidden fruit- which I crave - and can’t cross the border to even get /( great falls / into Idaho!!!- I sure wish we could just go down and get dried chilies!!- keep up the good videos!!
I have them all in my spice cabinet from watching earlier videos from Cowboy Kent an they have all taken my cooking to a much higher level of flavor! Awesome video, thank you Kent and I’ll see you down the dried peppers 🌶 trail!!
this is the first time I've seen a video explaining the differences of those dried out chilis I would always see at the grocery store. Thanks Mr. Kent, now I gotta see how they go with my oatmeal.....
This is all new to me, and I am loving the education! TY for helping us all to be better chefs for our families!
Thank you!
Because of this channel, Shannon and Kent introduced me to dried chilis for many dishes.
And because of the cold winter I am experiencing, dried chilis in stews and chili dishes kept my belly warm for long hours.
Cowboy Kent, with you smelling that ancho chili looks like a chili pepper mustash!! I love chilis also. Even thai chilis.
Thanks for sharing and my wife is enjoying your book.
Thanks for sharing with us Kent and Shannon, you're doing a great job with all your seasonings and being able to season things right is an art. You folks have that touch with the brush. Keep up the great videos and your products. Fred.
Kent I'm officially committed now I am. Your such a down to earth man and have love for life. Your true to your ways and love what you do and the history with it. I bought your first book today and I'll be honest it's the first book I bought in over 5 years. I can't wait to read it because you sir are an inspiration.
Best chillies for cooking: the ones picked from your own garden/balcony! :) Had some kind of undefined Rawit (dang, they were hot) and Georgia Black last year, all either frozen or chopped, mixed with kosher salt and then dried up in the oven, makes good presents, too!
Greetings from Germany!
I'm very happy you put me on to dried Chiles, Your tacos are amazing.
I use dried pasilla or guahilla chilies in my BBQ Sauce. I seed them and reconstitute them in warm apple juice and then hit them smooth with my ninja and add it to my honey BBQ sauce. Excellent on pork, especially, between the apple juice and the peppers themselves
Excellent idea. I do a lot of smoking meats and never thought of using the chiles with Bbq sauces. I have ordered “rib candy” from Texas and use it all the time but now I’ll work on making my own. Thanks for the info😋
I Love your yse of these peppers. Reminds me of my grandma's and grandpa's cooking. They used all these peppers. I love cooking your recipes. Thanks for the update.
I will be using more dried chili’s in my chili because of your videos. Thank you!
I appreciate this Tutorial a Lot! I grew up in San Diego and live in Phoenix, AZ. Needless to say, I cook a lot of my own Mexican food and spicy foods. I've tried using these once or twice before in the crockpot with a little bit of success. My challenge to my cooking self (been teaching myself to cook for about 8 years now) is to do my own sauces and experiment with things I havent used much of. Broaden my flavor profile even more. This will help a lot. Thanks Kent!
Thank you Kent. It is so much better to use dried chilis than to use that powder from a store. I would love to see your take on homemade Beef Chorizo and also a good Mole sauce.
Thanks for explaining the difference in peppers and how to use them.
I just used dried guajillo and dried ancho to make a chili Colorado with deer back strap. First time I’d ever used dried chilis and it was amazing!
Would you mind sharing with me your Chili Colorado recipe? ……. Please…… 😊😊
@@kathyberger6650 I typically do about 8 ancho, 7 guajillo, 5 New Mexico, 4-5 chipotle, Mexican oregano, 1/2 white onion, 2 garlic cloves, salt and pepper for my chili. I de-seed, de-vein the peppers, chop them up and toss them on a hot skillet for a couple of minutes. Not too long on the heat or they'll get bitter. Then rehydrate them in hot water for about 20 minutes. After that they go into the food processor and, like Kent said, I use a little of the water from rehydrating them. After that I strain them to get rid of the larger pulp. That all goes into the slow cooker with whatever protein I am using and some fire roasted tomatoes for about 4 hours. The chili sauce is very rich and earthy. You can play with the different peppers to find the ratio that works best for you. I prefer a couple more ancho because it gives it a slight hint of dark chocolate. Good luck!
@@jpm5246 thank you so much!!!! 😊
I buy the toasted japones chilies. Deseed then food process to a chili flake size. Great way to add heat and flavor to anything.
Thank you Kent dried peppers are hanging in my kitchen nxow. This is a good way to save peppers you grow. I string them every year. Thanks for all your videos and great recipes. I am from middle TN and love the down home cooking. God bless yall.
Hello middle Tennessee 👍. I live in northern alabama and my brother lives in Cookeville Tennessee. Grew up on dairy farm in East Tennessee.
I will have to try some of these. I grow around 6 different peppers in the garden so I use them mostly.
In the fall I pick all remaining peppers and simmer them in vinegar with garlic and onion. Once soft a blend the mess real well then strain off the juice for a hot sauce. The pulp that's left gets dehydrated and ground for a shakable pepper flake.
Yeah boy Mr. Kent. You can take a couple or one if that's all you have and make a plain pot of beans taste like it came from some uppity gourmet fancy restaurant ! Really enjoy your videos sir and a big ole , Thank You, to you and your pretty Missus, Miss Shannon for all your hard work bringing them to us plain folk !!
I have been interested in trying those chilis, so thank you for the video. I will be going back and watching again. 🌸
Recently discovered this channel. Even more recently I’ve conceded this is my favorite channel. Kent Rollins is a national treasure. Period. I daydream about being on the plains or hills among good folks like him and his compadres. Keep it up.
Thanks cowboy nd Be Well.
This is great. Thank you very much. Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!
I always enjoy my time watching your videos
Good ideas for my garden next summer.
Thanks Ken-Shan, our cupboard never lacks a some kind of whole dried chili. One we’re looking for again is a smoked dried jalapeño. A little goes a long way with that one! Thanks again. JP.
Dried chilis make good kitchen decor too if you string em up and hang em.
Down in AZ, we use a lot of chiltepins, which is also very versatile and is usually available at many grocery stores.
I appreciate you taking the time every video to show your appreciation. Thank you as well! My family loves your food renditions and humility.
Thank you for this tutorial! I have been looking for a way to use these dried chilis.
I sure like them, so much flavor
Hello Cowboy Kent, you have reinforced why I also love cooking with those Mexican dried chilies. However, while I am a fan of the Guajillo and the New Mexican Chilies... my choice for the spicy heat is both the Chilipin and the Pequin Chilies... Chili de Arbor is good for a lot of recipes, but my preference are the two chilies I mentioned because you can control the heat much easier than relying upon the Chili Arbor alone... need more heat without going overboard add a few more Chilipins or to tame the heat down a little bit... add a few more Pequins and with both you still get great chili flavor, especially smokiness from the Pequins...
Love your channel and your cooking.
I've used them in a "Texas Red" chili recipe that does not use ground beef and it was amazing!
Me too! For the very first time ever this past Friday. I used the guajillos. Unbelievably good. I used a whole chuck roast. Then I commeted a sin by adding tomatoes, kidney beans, corn, okra, potatoes, carrots and onions and made a stew out of it. I still have a couple of bowls left, which probably won't see tomorrow.
Great as always my friend 🤠
Thank you, Have a great day.
Love ya, Kent!! 🔥🔥🔥
My favorite chili peppers are Flea and Anthony Kiedis.
Hope you have a great 2022!!!!!!
Wow you differently gave a great description and Chile ancho is probably the one with kind a sweet taste. Love you channel
