Try a coffee bean grinder--my husband uses it on his dried habs every year!

Subject: [CH] Crushed Red Pepper
Hi All --
Does anyone have a good method for making "crushed red pepper" from their
dried
chiles? I really like the consistency of the commercial stuff (uniform
flakes,
good flesh to seed ratio) but the flavor (of course) is not really there.
So,
I usually make my own, and I have tried several different methods (hand,
knife,
food processor) with unsatisfactory results. I either end up with half
powder,
half flakes or crushed seeds, or some other unappealing problem.
Thanks.
Matt
