The Goodies Have Arrived

Marx Foods recently had a post on their site asking if anyone wanted to review some of their dried chilies. The regulars who read my blog (really, I know there are a few :) ) know that I love love love spicy food. This offer had my name all over it and it is my first food review! Well, the chilies arrived earlier this week. My oh my, I received six samples of different dried chilies and some of them even just smell hot. I am on a search for recipes. Does anyone have some to share with me? I have never used dried chilies and am reading up on how to reconstitute them, make chili powder, pastes, and oils. I am going to try to get creative here so be sure to check back in to see my culinary adventure with dried chilies is progressing!

The package included the following organic dried chilies:

Aji Amarillo: Hot
New Mexico: Hot
Chipotle: Hot
Aji Panca: Mild
Aji Limo Rojo: Hot
Aji Cereza: Extremely Hot
