I’d like to hear a bit more about how you smoke-roasted them in the first place.
I have a small smoker that I put the chilis into, then put small pieces of mesquite charcoal in the fuel pan and got it going. Once the charcoal was hot I added small pieces of mesquite for smoke and just let the peppers smoke roast until they were done.
Thanks for all the Ancho ideas folks! That helps a lot and its clear I have some cooking to do....
Cheers!
