tony b Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I have 1 Pliny left. I shouldn't be hoarding it, as they don't last forever. Have fun with the burn-in. A balmy 28F here today, nice and sunny. Pork loin going on the KK for dinner tonight. Reality hits hard tomorrow: 1"-3" of new snow predicted (90% chance), but at least the polar vortex has retreated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troble Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) @tony b definitely! Normally I’m up there every 4 weeks for work. This is my first trip in 12 months and the dates are locked in and not flexible cause we’re installing some top secret solar shingle (then uninstalling it so nobody sees it). I want to check out the product before it goes to UL so I gotta be there those dates otherwise I usually am flexible with travel Edited February 21, 2021 by Troble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Well, look at what showed up at my doorstep about 30 minutes ago! Looks like someone ( @Troble perhaps??) ransacked the local Mexican market and shipped it halfway across the country to throw the authorities off their tracks! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dried chillies are a great way to explore sauces, particularly in the winter when the fresh stuff is less available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I use lots of dried chilies when making my chili con carne recipe. I have multiple varieties in my pantry. My challenge in this box (besides the shear quantity) is uses for the 2 bricks of annatto paste? Never worked with it before, just the seeds/powdered versions. Suggestions?

Suggestions? Expand Hi Tony. First, apologies for patronising you with respect to the use of dried chillies. The chilli king himself? What was I thinking of?! So, annatto paste is the same as the achiote paste that @Troble recommends for the recipe that started this chain of posts. I have not tried the authentic recipe yet but will do so soon, having scored some of the paste here in the UK. I also went onto eatmybooks and found a number of recipes in my books that use the paste. I think you can search through the public elements of eatmybooks to find recipes that might be in any Mexican books that you may have. Drop me an email if you want me to check this out via my subscription if you can't do the search yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
