Mild Pepper Paste

Pepper paste comes from the winter-pantry tradition of southeastern Anatolia: fleshy red peppers are dried in the sun, crushed, and worked into a dense paste. This mild pepper paste is produced by that traditional method. Since it carries no heat, it also suits those who prefer milder flavors.

Mixed half-and-half with tomato paste, it forms the base of Turkish home cooking. It gives scrambled-egg dishes, soups, braises, bulgur pilaf, and breakfast spreads color and depth. Spread on bread with a drizzle of olive oil, it is loved in its simplest form, too.

Once opened, keep the jar in the refrigerator and cover the surface with a thin layer of olive oil to keep the paste fresh longer. TürkDeli delivers across Germany and Europe with fast shipping; shipping is free over 100 € within Germany and over 150 € elsewhere in Europe.
