Tajin Arbol Chilli 75g
Add a burst of heat and authentic Mexican flavour to your cooking with Tajin Arbol Chilli, a 75g pack of whole dried arbol chillies from Mexico. Known for their vibrant, sharp spiciness, arbol chillies are a favourite for those who love bold, fiery tastes. Their heat level is higher than that of ancho chillies, offering an intense kick that brings depth and excitement to dishes.
Perfect For: These arbol chillies are fantastic for making hot sauces, spicy salsas, and flavourful marinades. They’re a classic choice for Mexican recipes but can also add a touch of heat to soups, stews, and pasta sauces. Arbol chillies also make an excellent base for chilli oils and infusions, perfect for drizzling over pizza or roasted vegetables.
How to Use: To use arbol chillies, start by rehydrating them in hot water for 15–20 minutes to soften. Once rehydrated, they can be chopped or blended into sauces for a smooth texture. Alternatively, dry roast the chillies to release their smoky aroma before grinding them into a powder to add intense heat to spice blends and rubs.
