This popular spice is used on kabobs and grilled vegetables. Almost every dish gets a dash of aleppo pepper. Aleppo peppers are milder than red chile flakes. These peppers are also sometimes salted before drying. It's a slightly salty pepper flake with raisin, prune, and sun-dried tomato flavors. The heat is milder, but the burn is still pleasant. Keep an extra shaker of aleppo pepper at the table. Perfect for topping pizza, mashed potatoes, or soups.
Due to the milder climate, Mediterranean Aleppo peppers are less spicy than those grown in the Middle East. The Mediterranean variety is far more fruity. This pepper is great for appetizers, pizzas, and meze. If you miss black pepper, try this instead for a while.
