Named after the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, it comes from a burgundy chile also known as the Halaby pepper. Once ripened, the peppers are semi-dried, de-seeded, and coarsely ground. Aleppo is a common Middle Eastern condiment, traditionally used to season meat, beans, salads, and muhammara dip, but can be used like any other dried red pepper. About half as hot as crushed red chili flakes and easily twice as flavorful. Like salt, Aleppo-style pepper is a flavor enhancer. It marries slow-building heat with earthy, cumin-y undertones and a little hit of fruity tang. Add Aleppo flakes to oil for a stand-out roast chicken marinade, rub it on roasted vegetables, add it to salad dressing, or even use it to rim a cocktail glass. Perfect for anything that would enjoy for a layer of slow-building heat. Aleppo-style pepper is sold de-seeded and coarsely ground, so it's mellow enough to act as a finisher— so sprinkle a hearty pinch on anything and everything! Ingredients: Aleppo Pepper
