Chilies can be roasted,\nground, stuffed, or used as toppings, but they always add to a dish in one way\nor another. This remains true for chilies used in vegan recipes, whether it be\nin a red salsa, salad, or any other dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     There is also a wide variety of chili\ntypes, and while some are often served stuffed, others are more commonly used\ncooked and ground. Here is one example of how to use jalape\u00f1o peppers in a\nvegan dish: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using chilies it is\nimportant, however, to pay attention to the recipe to make sure that the\nplanned flavor comes through! Many recipes require cutting out the seeds of\ndried or fresh chilies prior to grinding or chopping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
