• Preparation 

  Lightly toast then rehydrate pasilla de Oaxaca 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 before using. For a more subtle heat, add whole chillies directly to whatever you’re cooking, removing before serving. Always wash your hands after handling chillies!
