What it is

Chipotle Mora, also sold as Chipotle Morita, is a ripe red jalapeño that has been slowly smoked and dried. That smoking is what turns a fresh green jalapeño into a deep, mahogany chilli with the rich, woody flavour Mexican cooking is built on. Morita pods are the smaller, softer variety, smoked for less time than the larger Meco, so they keep a slight fruitiness alongside the smoke.

Flavour and heat

Expect a warm, smoky depth with hints of dried fruit and dark chocolate, and a moderate kick in the 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville range. It adds smoke and body without overwhelming a dish.

How to use it

These are dried whole pods. Toast them briefly in a dry pan, then rehydrate in warm water and blend into salsas, adobo, and marinades, drop them whole into slow-cooked stews and beans, or grind them into a smoky seasoning powder. A single pod goes a long way.
