Pasilla Chili Peppers

Pasilla Chili Peppers
(Pasilla Chili Peppers) Pasilla chili peppers are also referred to as pasilla negro chili peppers. A true pasilla (pronounced pah-SEE-yah; literally "little raisin") is the dried form of the long and narrow chilaca pepper (pictured above). Pasilla chili peppers are mostly used in sauces, and are sold in the dried form pictured here or powdered. The pasilla has a heat index of from 250 - 3,999 Scoville units. It typically grows from 8 to 10 inches long, but we have seen smaller ones in the bags of pasilla chili peppers we have purchased. See the nutritional information below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
