WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE???

Brown Chipotle Chiles

Brown Chipotle Chiles (Capsicum Annuum) are made from the familiar Jalapeno Chile. Chipotle Chiles are first smoked, then dried.

There are many different beliefs regarding the difference between Brown and Morita (means Blackberry) Chipotles.  Our understanding is that the Brown Chipotles are the Green Jalapenos and the Moritas are the red, fully mature Chipotles. This gives them a unique, medium - hot smokey flavor which is popular in many Southwestern dishes. These peppers are about 1-1/2 to 3 inches in length with long, vein-like ridges and a tan to coffee brown color. Consider the Chipotle a 5-6 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the hottest). Substitutions 1/2 tbs. of Chipotle Powder 1 tbs. granulated Chipotle 1 Chipotle Pepper. Scoville heat units 7,000-18,000.
Suggested Use:
Use Chipotles in enchilada sauces, chili, stews, barbecue ribs, and corn bread. Their smoky quality combines well with poultry, meats and fall squash.

We sell both of these peppers on our website

***Grilling Indoors***

Chad loves to cook in our slow cooker and uses many of our Barbecue Rubs/seasonings.  This type of cooking is so easy and fabulous tasting.  Because many of our rubs are salt free you can marinade your meat overnight; just rub into meat and put in a plastic bag in the fridge.  In the morning before you leave for work bring meat to room temperature, put in slow cooker with liquid of your choice (beef stock, chicken stock, etc) and cook on low~dinner will be ready when you get home.  We have tried and recommend all of our rubs; these 2 are very popular with our customers:

Buckaroo Rub

Gluten Free...Salt Free...MSG Free...Preservative Free

A beef rub inspired by the resourcefulness of American Cattleman who made their meals with whatever spices were at hand.  While the cowboys were tending to their herd, "Cookie" was back at the chuck wagon, perfecting what we today call barbecue. 

Features Ancho Chili, Aleppo Pepper, Coffee, Cocoa, Honey, Pink Peppercorns, Horseradish and other spices.

Wet Marinade:  Red wine and Tomato sauce, 1 to 1 with 1-2 tablespoons of rub.

Rub Pomade:  reduce the amount of liquid to make a paste-like consistency.  Generously cover the meat.

Note:  Remember to bring the meat to room temperature before cooking.

Suggested Recipe:  This rub is great for baby back ribs.  Rub into steaks, sprinkle over roasts, or add to burger patties. 

Marinate:  Combine rub with olive oil, onion and a dash of red wine, rub the meat generously all around the steak about 8-12 hours before cooking (less time is okay and remember because there is no salt in this you can marinate overnight).

This is a hot blend
