Chipotle pepper pieces

Chipotle peppers are fire... but with a touch of sweetness. This pecan-smoked, dried jalapeño is a staple of Mexican and South American cuisine, offering a warm, fruity, and intense flavor. On the Scoville scale, it registers as moderate (5/10), just enough to heat up your dishes without burning them. And the cherry on top: Yotam Ottolenghi is a fan for adding an irresistible smoky touch to sauces, roasted vegetables, or marinated meats.

In chunks, it can be used infused, crushed, or ground into a powder. It adds a real touch of something special to homemade tomato sauce , marinades , traditional mole , eggs ranchero , or even chocolate desserts . Bonus: it also pairs beautifully with white fish, legumes, or roasted winter vegetables.

Suggestions for use:

• Add it to homemade barbecue sauce or chili oil.

• Perfect for tacos or a mango shrimp salad

• Try it in a dark chocolate brownie (yes, go ahead and try it!)

• Use it to flavor your vinegars or olive oils

• Or slip it into a broth for a subtle smoky effect
