Question about chiles
The recipe I'm cooking this weekend calls for 2 arbol, 2 pasilla, and 2
ancho chiles. My store has arbols, but not the other two. They do have mulato, casteno, anaheim, chipotle (not appropriate I'm sure as smoky), cascabel, and habanero. A website I looked at gives mulatos as a substitute for both pasillas and anchos, meaning I could double them instead of using two kinds. I was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions from what is available, probably for the pasillas especially, as the website has mulato as a more direct substitute for ancho. Thanks in advance. Paul |

Please, Paul, make it your own recipe by using the dried chiles you can get locally. Go to the store and buy a combination of what smells good to you right now. Or, buy samples of as many kinds as you want and soak them in hot water, taste them, and then combine them as you see fit. Whatever happens, it's up to you. David |

The Cascabels will be close to the Pasillas, and the Mulatos will be so close to the Ancho (a tad less sweetness perhaps) that the fidelity of the recipe IMHO will stay intact. What are you cooking anyway? (hint) Regards, Johann > >Thanks in advance. >Paul |
