Aleppo Pepper

Aleppo chili pepper comes from southern Turkey, near the Syrian town of Aleppo, which is considered one of the culinary meccas of the Mediterranean. Considered the paprika of Turkey, it has a moderate heat level with some fruitiness, mild, cumin-like undertones, and a hint of vinegar and salt. Use it to impart chili flavor in any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dish. Great on soft scrambled eggs, pizzas, salads, and pasta.
