Mejor Ancho para cocinar en casa

Para qué sirve Ancho, en qué cocinas aparece y dónde encontrarlo.

Por qué empezar aquí

The wide, wrinkled dried chile that smells like raisins and chocolate: the body of many moles before the cacao goes in.

Toast lightly. Anchos burn and turn bitter if you show off. Soak, seed if you want less heat, and blend with broth. They thicken a sauce as much as they color it.

A good ancho smells like dried fig and cocoa. A stale one smells like cardboard. Buy them pliable, not brittle as glass.
