Aji Mirasol

Available from World Spice Merchants when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

This chile's name means "looking at the sun," and it truly has one of the most unique fruity flavors of the chile world. Most everyone gets an apricot taste and smell from these mild Aji Mirasol chiles from south Mexico. Try them as rellenos stuffed with goat cheese, or in a crisp summer salsa with fresh herbs--it's a perfect sauce for meat or seafood.
