Dried Chiles

We grow a lot of hot peppers (chiles) at One Love Farm. But, we don't often sell them at the farmers' market. Instead, we dry them in a dehydrator, crush them into a powder using a blender and mix them with herbs to make a chili powder. This year we are growing the usual suspects; Cayenne, Hot Portugual, Anaheim and Pablano. We also got some Big Jim Chile seeds and are growing them for the first time. They seem similar to Pablano as evidenced by this recipe in Saveur. We like our Chile Rellanos with potatoes and cheese, but this recipe is really nice, too.
