Try Me Size - Crushed Aleppo Peppers

They are only moderately hot, about a 3 to 4 on a heat scale of 1 to 10. The heat develops slowly, so you can enjoy the fruity flavor that lies underneath without being overwhelmed by the heat. Sprinkle on pizzas, salads or in chili. You can keep it out to have handy although the flavor will last longer if refrigerated.

Try this with:

• Hummus: Sprinkle over top just before serving.
• Chile Butter: Mix 1 Tbsp. into 1 stick softened butter and spread over corn, steak, or fish.
• Pita Chips: Brush pita bread with oil, sprinkle with chiles, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 min. or until crisp.
