Ancho 101
When fresh and still green,
these mildly hot, heart-shaped peppers are stuffed and made into chilies
rellenos. When mature they are dark, rust red, richly flavored, and
often dried and ground into chili powder. Peppers become 4 inches long,
tapering to a blunt point. Wrinkled skin takes on even more character when
dried. May be strung into long ropes or made into wreaths.
