Morita Chilli

Morita chilli is a red and ripe jalapeno pepper. The process of smoking gives its smoky chocolate and coffee like characteristics.

These chillies are about 3-5cm long. The smoking process is shorter resulting in softer fruity flavour.

Because of this flavour profile, this chilli is a perfect substitute for Chipotle Chilli.

Furthermore, in Mexican cooking, they are the preferred for making salsa seca, or “dry salsa”.

Heat:

Scoville rating 5,000-10,000 (Medium-hot)

Morita Chilli Cooking Suggestion:

• Combine fried peanuts, sesame seeds and garlic with the toasted dried Mortitas
• Also Season with salt and lime.
