guajillo chile
guajillo chile [gwah-HEE-yoh] The skin of this dried CHILE is
shiny-smooth and a deep, burnished red. The chile is very tough and
must be soaked longer than most dried chiles. The flavorful guajillo
is pointed, long and narrow (about 4 inches by 1 inch). Because it can
be quite hot, the guajillo is also sometimes called the travieso
("mischievous") chile in reference to its not-so-playful sting. It's
used in both sauces and cooked dishes.
