Uses

(Pronounced pah-SEE-yah)

The Pasilla is dark green in color, and turns dark brown upon maturing. Anywhere from 5 to 9 inches in length, the curving Pasilla Chile is about 1-1 1/2 inches across. Used in a variety of traditional Latin dishes including mole sauce, the Pasilla has a rich, sweet flavor with a medium to intense heat. Fresh Pasilla from Melissa’s Don Enrique label can be roasted, skinned and shredded. Roasting gives the Pasilla a smoky, earthy flavor. It is also a favorite for the popular dish, chile rellenos. For an interesting flavor, add fresh pasilla chiles to standard enchilada sauce.

Selection, Storage & Handling

Pasillas from Melissa’s are hand-selected for excellent quality. When buying fresh chiles, choose firm, heavy, smooth-skinned chiles that are dry (free of moisture). Store fresh chiles wrapped in paper towel in the crisper section of the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks or more.
