HAB Pasilla Morita Hot Sauce 148ml

It's rich, earthy, smoky and just the slightest bit sweet. The sauce is kind of mild so Hab added some serrano peppers to bring up the heat just a little.

Pasilla – which means “little raisin” in Spanish – tastes unsurprisingly like raisins, earthy and sweet with a hint of smoky cocoa. Dried Morita chile peppers are a variety of Capsicum annuum that are almost synonymous with chipotles. They are a red-ripe jalapeño pepper that has been smoked, but the main difference is that dried Morita chile pepper is smoked for less time, leaving it softer and retaining a modest fruity flavour.

The sauce goes so well on chicken, carnitas, steak, potatoes, eggs and just about anything. It's the kind of flavour you can use to really bring a richness to dishes without having to put in much effort.
