Cascabel Chillies

[prezzy]

I have some of these cascabel chillies but have never used them before and am struggling to find anything decent to cook using them - anyone used them? anyone know what best to use them in / any recipes?

Cheers

They're only 3000 scovilles so should be pretty mild. I'd slice them and use them as a pizza topping or throw them in the filling for a fajita.

Never used them before from what i've just looked up looks like they're usually dried and used in sauces. Maybe fill them with a nice soft cheese and grill?

I am sure mickey will be along soon enough with a method of slicing them and inserting them into your japs eye.

Yea I was thinking of sticking them in a salsa or some sort of tomato sauce or something - strange there are not more recipes about using them as they are quite a big thing in Mexico I think

Are they dried ?

Are they dried ?

Yep they are dried - will soak them in hot water like I do with ancho's etc I guess to rehydrate

I would use them dried in a chilli with other types of chilli to give it a different edge. I usually use four types of pepper in my chillis and it makes for a good taste with various accents.

I made a good sauce by simmering chipotles in water vinegar and something else - will dig the recipe out. Then blending it up.
All mates were raving about it.
Was good for dipping and I lobbed the last of it in a chilli for a smokey flavour
