Aji Molido Chillies (Crushed)

Aji Molido Chillies are another staple ingredient in Argentinian cuisine. On the face of it, you may think they are a chilli flake like any other, but it’s the subtle differences are all important. These chilli flakes have a mild heat and hints of smokiness and sweetness. This adds a great flavour but doesn’t overwhelm the palate. Many other chilli flake products are cayenne chillies, with their hotter spice levels, often losing the delicate flavours in the warmth. Aji Molido flakes have an irregular grind too, with some larger flakes and some much smaller. This helps distribute the flavours throughout the dish while the larger flakes provide pops of colour and taste.

Aji Molido Chillies are all about adding to the flavour, not just raising the spiciness. Add to seasonings for meats such as steaks, sausages and burgers or use with empanadas for extra depth and subtle kick. Sprinkle over roast veggies or potatoes or use in your own custom spice blends and rubs. This is a great option for those that love chilli flavours but don’t like the high levels of spice that some can impart. Other great Argentinian flavours we have include Provenzal, Chimichurri, Argentinian Cumin and the Malevo Chimichurri Sauces.

As with all herbs and spices, add a little at a time to get the flavour you want. You can always add more, but taking it out again can be impossible!

Always be sure to read the labels before consumption. Suitable for vegetarian, vegan and kosher recipes.
