Pul Biber or Aleppo Pepper or pul biberis a coarsely ground Syrian & Turkish paprika, widely used in cooking & as a table condiment in Turkish homes & restaurants.
Named after the Syrian city of Aleppo on the famous Silk Road spice route, the dried peppers create a spice blend with a lovely balance - intensely burgundy-red coloured, aromatic with some fruitiness & mild, cumin-like undertones.
Because it contains no seeds or inner flesh of the chillies, Pul Biber is still relatively mild in the chilli league tables, its heat building slowly with a fruity raisin-like finish. It has also been described as having almost the flavour of sundried tomatoes, but with a kick behind it.
It has a similar flavour to the ancho chile, but oilier & slightly salty due to the drying & curing process.
With its ability to boost flavours whilst adding its own layers of fruity warmth, Pul Biber is a fantastic addition to vegan or bowls. It instantly perks up rice, chickpeas, spinach, kale, tofu - pretty much anything! A good pinch in homemade (or shop bought) hummus takes it to another level.
It has a sweet aroma & works well sprinkled over any roasted meat, veg or hummus. It can also be added to melted butter or olive oil to finish off stews, soups & eggs.
For the meat eaters among, Pul Biber compliments the rich flavours of goat & lamb; use to season homemade kofta, burgers or sprinkle generously into stews, goat curry, roasted vegetables or falafel.
Another favourite use for Pul Biber is to mix 2 tsp with finely diced preserved lemons (rinsed first) & a little oil. This mixture is a delight spread over a chicken before roasting.
Mix 1 tsp to yoghurt or soured cream for a gorgeous dip. Or throw a pinch on anything - it works brilliantly instead of salt on sweet potato wedges or chips!
Like so many in our range, this is another that’s sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan too. With no fillers or anything artificial, our unique blend of herbs and spice create the purest, freshest flavour possible to give your food attitude.
