Ingredients

  • 4 ounces arroz con pollo peppers or 1 ounce dried
  • 8 ounces aji cito peppers or 2 ounces dried
  • 6 ounces Hawaiian hot peppers or 1.5 ounces dried
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic you can make garlic powder from garden grown garlic as well
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and slice the peppers into ¼ inch slices. Lay them out onto dehydrator trays and dry for 8-10 hours at 125 degrees F, or until they are completely dried through. They should crack when you bend them.
  • Blend the peppers in a spice grinder or food processor until they are as smooth as possible. Sift out the larger chunks and process those until you’ve broken down the pods as much as possible.
  • Combine the chili powder with the garlic, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Use as you would any chili rub or seasoning blend.

Notes

Makes about 1 quarter cup or so.
