Fresh Numex 6-4 Chillies (Red) (2 fruits)

Similar to an Anaheim, this improved New Mexico pepper has great flavour & mild heat. Traditionally when fresh, they are used either green or red with the skin removed. They are often used as a vegetable side dish or as a base for a sauce or salsa.

Recipe

See our Hatch New-Mex Green Chilli Sauce for a description of how to skin chillies and a how to make a Devon version of the Hatch chilli sauce; only chillies actually grown in Hatch, New Mexico, can be called Hatch chillies - although we do have a small hamlet called Hatch, only a couple of miles from the chilli farm! The dried version of the red Guajillo is a common ingredient in Mexican mole recipes. 

Storage

Fresh chillies keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge. All chillies freeze well and slicing and pickling is another way to preserve chillies.
