Identify this Vegetable?

You got me. I’d never heard of a Red Pasilla pepper. The only Pasillas I’ve seen or grown are dark chocolate colored and thinner. Looks like these are in the Ancho/Poblano group, or hybrids therein. Ausilio Italian peppers can get that shape, but tend to be blockier. Most of the Ancho/Poblanos have a pointed tip; but others are blunt, rounded. There is a Red Poblano that looks a lot like those. Since Pasillas, Anchos and Poblanos are all dried, maybe that’s where the Red “Pasilla” got mixed in. I don’t know.
