The Mulato Chillie is a mild to medium dried Poblano pepper, similar to the Ancho, but with a slightly different flavour. Both are green while growing, but while the Ancho pepper is a Poblano pepper that ripens to a deep red, the Mulato pepper is a Poblano that ripens to a dark brown colour, then dried.
Unlike many Mexican chillies, this pepper is actually ranked very low on the heat scale – most people can eat mulato peppers like banana or bell peppers and not experience too much of a heat boost.
The chillie Mulato is probably most famously used in Mole sauce, a savoury chocolate sauce that is spiced up by mulatos and a few other varieties of peppers.
