Description

12 ounces of Hatch red chile powder grown in the sunny Hatch Valley. This powder is great for use as a spice to kick up the level of your cooking with a little heat, but also can be used to make a whole sauce! I personally use red chile powder in many recipes, like a bowl of chili, pasta sauces, and even Asian foods like the Chinese tofu dish MaPo Tofu. I’ve got a whole page about using red chile powder, so check it out. In case you just want to skip down to the recipe part to learn about how to make a red chile sauce with it, click here! These flavors are all standard heat levels in New Mexico, ranging from mild all the way to XXX-Hot. Keep in mind that we use a lot of chile in New Mexican cuisine, so don’t expect medium powder to make a dish particularly spicy unless you really add a lot. If you really like spice, I recommend X-hot or XXX-hot. Please keep in mind the XXX-hot is still much milder than spicier alternatives like Habanero Powder or especially superhot chili varieties!
