Chili Threads or Angel Hair Chili

The chili threads are Mexican chilis cut very thinly. They are mainly used to season and decorate various dishes. They are called in different ways depending on habits and usage. A very common name is angel hair chili, or chili threads. Some call these spices chili filaments. The angel hair chili from Terza Luna comes from selected crops for care and attention. It is a different format from the classic Mexican chili, revisited to garnish dishes and drinks.

Tips for Use in the Kitchen

Given their low spiciness, they are generally used to decorate and garnish dishes and drinks of various kinds. They are used for the decoration of appetizers, salads, soups, and desserts. But their light aroma can also be paired with main dishes such as pasta, fish, and meat.

Aroma and Taste

The chili threads are thin filaments of the chili’s skin. Since only the outer part of the pod is used, not the seeds, they have a delicate flavor and a low level of spiciness. The chilis used to obtain the angel hair are first dried, and although aromatic, mild chilis are selected. They appear as very thin, dried filaments, dark orange or red in color.

Recipes with Chili Threads

Their extreme versatility allows them to be used in a large number of recipes as a highly effective decoration or as a light flavoring. As an alternative to simple decorative use, we recommend trying them fried. For the preparation, simply gather the angel hair threads like small nests and fry them. They are ideal for an original and crunchy appetizer.
