Chiles add depth and complexity to dishes, providing a smoky flavor or a welcome bite of heat. When cooking with a fresh chile, taste it first; if it's too spicy for your liking, remove the inner membrane and seeds before adding it to the dish. Dried chiles usually need to be soaked in hot water to soften before using.
