Dried whole chilis have a very distinctive flavour to fresh ones, so they are used in a different way. Upon drying a caramelisation of the sugars takes place which creates a delicious, robust taste not found in fresh chillies, in the same way a sun-dried tomato has a more complex flavour profile than a fresh one. They can be chopped or puréed, often in sauces or added to stews, while other times they are toasted and ground into a powder and added to dishes.
Some like to use dried chiles to infuse things like cream, broth, stock, even pasta water.
Dried chillies don't just add flavour to food and sauces—when reconstituted and puréed, they ARE the sauce!
