Arbol chillies or Chile de Arbol are fiery hot chillies, often used in Mexican soups and sauces. Arbol chillies turn a brilliant red colour when ripe, and are then sun-dried to intensify the spicy hot flavours. With a clean and hot heat Arbol Chillies are ideal for making delicious hot sauces and salsas. Roughly 2-3 inches long and less than half an inch wide, Arbol chillies are also known as the “tree chilli” due to its woody looking stem.
Dried Arbol Chillies can be used to make a pepper mash for a hot sauce base by fermenting three parts vinegar to one part dried chilli for several weeks. Add the crushed or whole chillies to pickle brines and Escabeches for a concentrated spicy heat. Dry toast them on a hot skillet and blend with onion, garlic, tomatillo, lime and salt for a raw salsa.
