If I had to choose just one specific ingredient to be my signature ingredient, I would choose Chipotle peppers. I selected chipotle peppers as a potential signature ingredient because they are a type of pepper that is widely used in cooking and can add a unique flavor and heat to a wide range of dishes. Chipotle peppers are also relatively easy to find and work with, as they are often sold dried and can be ground into a powder or used whole in dishes. In addition, the smoky flavor of chipotle peppers pairs well with a variety of other ingredients and can add depth and complexity to a dish.

What's the problem. They are probably far more commonly sold in the little cans steeped in adobo sauce, which is amazing. I've seen those cans sold in every even-somewhat-major grocery or minor local/ethnic grocery I've been to, whereas dried chipotles are tough to find even in a store with a rack of dried peppers.

Chipotles are necessarily dried. It's not a type of pepper it's a method of preparation.

>> No.18730315

>>18730265
But it is a method of preparation of a type of pepper. They're (usually) smoked Filipinos. The Asian supermarket in my little shithole town has an aisle of preserved peppers, and a whole section of a rack just of different anchos and chipotles - verde vs rojo, seco vs ahumado, arranged by size and grouped by country of origin... Their spice, pepper, and sauce guy is definitely autistic.

At least in U.S. cuisine (and probably everywhere -- I don't believe your waffling) a chipotle is *always* a ripe jalapeno that is smoked and dried to different levels. Morita and meco are the two common types seen (and now that I think of it, morita are indeed sold everywhere in the U.S. there are dried chilies alongside ancho; others are hit-or-miss).
https://smallaxepeppers.com/what-is-a-chipotle-pepper/
I envy that your market has so many varieties on just the preparation and terroir? of the same varietals -- as long as the price is reasonable (which I'm guessing since it's an Asian market it generally is.) I live next to a Super88 in a major city and it's just got the common set of chilies -- all the varietals, but no variety. Same with the Latinx market in the middle of an enormous West Indies diaspora. I haven't been everywhere though, obviously.

>> No.18730485

>>18730435
Some moritas are wholly unripe, but mecos are always completely ripe (sometimes over) - it's why moritas are darker. And I have seen jalapeno-seco sold as chipotle - it's a nice flavour, but kind of odd when you're expecting smoke. The rainman makes sure to label them as both in three languages... often to the point where the tags completely hide the peppers in the bag.

I thought he might have been referring to my
>(usually) smoked
But yeah, nah, 0265 missed some details. They absolutely have to be jalapeno - other peppers can be prepared similarly (I usually smoke up some chilacas, poblanos, and habs when I've got enough ripe, half-ripe, or storebought jalapenos that are starting to sag), but only the smoked jalapenos are chipotles. Heavily smoked, super ripe ones are meco/moreno (because they turn brown), and everything else kind of falls under morita (because they're... mulberries? Get out of here Mexico, you're drunk again!), but I've seen the unripe ones called verde or negro. Moritas are ripe or half-ripe most of the time.

Getting off of this topic, I'd love to hit a cooking competition with mackerel - watch everyone else try to hide or mask the fishiness of it while I just work with it - finish er off with some god damned pavlova with saba mousse rosettes and white chocolate drizzled skin crackers.
