Summary: Wonderful ingredient for Mexican cooking 2008-05-06
Comment: This chile paste is just that ... the paste that results from soaking and blending dried ancho chiles. I use this a lot in my recipes. It's a big time saver, and the pastes hold for a long time. Combine this paste with the pasilla and guajillo pastes from the same manufacturer to make the base of a classic mole sauce.
