Storage & Preparation:

Lightly toast then rehydrate cascabel chillies to release their flavour. Wipe clean and remove stems and seeds. Open out flat and toast briefly in a dry pan on a medium heat until fragrant, then soak in just boiled water for 15 minutes. Drain and blend to a paste with a splash of water, then strain through a sieve before using. Alternatively, run a teaspoon inside the soaked cascabel chillies to remove the flesh, and discard the skin. Always wash your hands after.

Store in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposure to light.
