This fiery hot chile powder is ground primarily from the Teja chile, Capsicum annuum, though it can also incorporate other chiles of the right heat level and color. The Teja has a thick red skin that is better suited for drying and grinding, than for chopping and eating. It is valued for its heat and has a clean, unintrusive flavor.

How To Use
Extra Hot Ground Red Chile Powder can be used in everything from pasta sauces to popcorn toppings, but it is very spicy so consider yourself warned. Stir in this chile powder anywhere you want heat; add it to Indian dishes, Mexican dishes, or Asian food for heat without conflicting flavor. It works beautifully in Cincinnati’s signature Cincinnati Skyline Chili. Spice up traditional side dishes like Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries and Apples and Roasted Sweet Potatoes. Give a boost to Savory Stuffed Mushrooms. If you are craving something sweet with a kick, this would be perfect in a spicy Salted Caramel Sauce over a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream.
Add to DIY seasoning rubs for beef, pork, or ribs. Great with breading for hot chicken and fish dishes. Stir into honey for instant hot honey. Goes nicely with sweet, sturdy root vegetables like carrots, or with starchy acorn or butternut squash. Using at the end of cooking time prevents mellowing, so it will be as spicy as possible.
Extra Hot Ground Red Chile Powder pairs well with ginger, cumin, garlic, galangal, allspice, tamarind, coconut, citrus, cheeses, cilantro, shallots, turmeric, and fruit.
