MORITA
Like the larger mora the morita is a type of dried smoked jalapeno. Bright
orange-red to red-brown, tapered, and measuring about I to 2 inches long
and 3/8 inch across. Medium fleshed; has a light, sweet, smoky flavor, with
tones of plum, fig, and tea and some tannin. The morita rayada grande is
a slightly larger version of this chile. It has similar flavor characteristics.
Both are used in
salsas and sauces.
