ancho
Dehydrated Mexican pepper
Ancho is a dried poblano pepper, dark reddish-brown and wrinkled, with mild heat and a sweet, slightly smoky flavor.
It's fundamental to Mexican cuisine, used in mole sauces, adobos, and enchilada sauces: The recipe calls for three ancho chiles, rehydrated and pureed.
The name comes from the Spanish word for "wide," describing the pepper's broad shape.
