Chipotle Chile Peppers, Brown (Smoked)

If this chile were a famous author, then it would be Earnest Hemingway. Gruff and bawdy, it’s a chile’s chile who won’t take any lip from anyone. Yet, under its masculine exterior, it shelters a poetic side that waxes prose to the dishes it decides to spend its nights with.

Brown, wrinkled, and looking like a discarded cigar, the brown (aka: meco) chipotle isn't one that’ll win any beauty contests. Looking like old tobacco and smelling like it with a mix of smoke, black powder, and aged leather this whole chipotle pepper is one for those who want powerful flavor from their chiles. These chipotles have been dried and smoked for days longer than their younger siblings, the morita chipotles.

Brown chipotles can be used anywhere you use a morita chipotle, this one just offers a huskier flavor with a lot more smoke. Outside of its usual culinary rigmaroles, this dried chipotle chile is fantastic when toasted, ground, and mixed with a bit of ground cinnamon before being swirled into to a cup of hot chocolate.
