How Do You Use Dried Hot Peppers?
Dried hot peppers can be used to add heat and flavor to many dishes. They can be ground into a powder and used as a seasoning, or reconstituted by soaking them in hot water until they soften and then adding them to soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. They can also be added whole to dishes for a milder heat or crushed and sprinkled on top for a spicy finishing touch. Dried hot peppers can be a versatile ingredient in a variety of cuisines, from Mexican and Latin American to Asian and Middle Eastern.
