Ancho chilli pepper is mild with fruity notes of liquorice. Ideal for sauces and stews. Adds an interesting flavour to vegetable mash, home-made gazpacho or grilled meat.
Assam pepper is picked in the Brahmaputra river valleys, in North-East India.
It releases spicy yet refreshing notes with a zingy tang. Crush it roughly with a pestle and mortar and sprinkle over your winter vegetables, delicate fish or grilled meat.
The red and round Wiri Wiri chilli is the cousin of the Cayenne chilli pepper from Guyana. It grows vertically, in a warm and moist climate at the edges of the tropical forest. It looks a bit like a cherry so is often called “cherry chilli”. Its strong flavour has aromas of tomatoes. Use sparingly. It will enliven your stews, soups and sauces.
