An Ancho is a dried poblano chilli. Due to its thick flesh, it is mild and rich in flavour and adds a smoky sweetness to any dish. Ancho chillies have a deep red colour and wrinkled skin with a  flavour reminiscent of raisins. Ancho can be used whole, or ground into powder which is then used in spice rubs or for making mole, enchilada sauce and chili. Anchos are fantastic for moles, enchiladas and they are the main flavour for pozole, a delicious warming soup. 50g bag
