Lakshmy ground chipotle morita chili 20 g 101664

Lakshmy Chili Chipotle Morita is a ground, dried and smoked chili spice in a 20 g pack. Ripe jalapeño peppers from the Chihuahua region in northern Mexico are dried and smoked in pits over burning pecan wood, a traditional method that gives the spice its characteristic flavour and smoky aroma. About 5 kg of fresh jalapeños yield 1 kg of chipotle chili. It is medium to strong in heat, rated between 3,000 and 10,000 on the Scoville scale.

The name reflects its origin: "chipotle" means smoked chili, while "morita" refers to its deep red colour. Use it to season bean and lentil dishes, marinate meat, and add depth to cooked and roasted meats, soups and sauces.
