Also known as chile negro Pasilla (meaning "little raisin") Chiles are dark raisin brown, long, wrinkled and tapered. Measuring 5 to 7 inches long and about 1-1/2 inches wide, the Pasilla Chile, along with the ancho and mulato chiles make up the "holy trinity" of chiles used in the preparation of traditional mole sauces. To change and increase the flavor of foods in significant amount, Chile Pasilla can be the best choice. Use in traditional Mexican sauces, salsa and soups or get adventurous and add to meatloaf, beef stew or corn chowder.
