Aleppo Chilli Flakes - Pul Biber - 100g

Product Information

Gochugaru has a vibrant red colour, and the texture varies from a fine to a coarse, flaky powder. Deseeded, dried peppers are ground to create these distinctive tiny flakes. If you find yourself in a position where your recipe calls for this ingredient, make sure you also have some of these Aleppo pepper substitutes. I prefer to use seedless chilli flakes or powder as Aleppo substitutes. Contrary to popular belief, the seeds are not the spiciest part of the chilli. In fact, they contribute very little flavour to the red pepper flakes. You’re likely aware that chili pepper seasoning has more than chilies in it. Garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin are often prevalent, among other spices. So only use this alternative if the other common spices will also work with the dish you’re making. To get an idea of what to expect in terms of spices, see our homemade chili powder seasoning recipe. Other options Chili paste Korean gochugaru flakes (or another coarse seedless chilli flake) form the base of our Aleppo-style pepper flakes.

Peppers and tomatoes are the soul of this dish – though green pepper haters, who seem to be legion (on social media, at least), will be disappointed to discover that they seem to be the most popular choice, what with Turkey being an enthusiastic consumer of peppers of all shapes and colours, including the long, slim, pale green sivri biber (literally “hot pepper”, though they vary in pungency) called for by Özlem Warren in her book Özlem’s Turkish Table. These are easily found anywhere that caters to Turkish or Balkan communities, though, if you’re averse to heat, you could swap in the paler green carliston peppers suggested by Basan, or the larger, deeper green, flatter bullhorn/romano peppers mentioned by Sivrioglu in Anatolia, which he co-authored with David Dale, though those are usually sold red in the UK.

The best Aleppo pul biber is a bright orange-red colour with a sundried tomato like fruitiness. It has a moist texture, thanks to the traditional drying process which involves bagging and ‘sweating’ the chilli flakes to make sure that they retain their natural oils. The end result is a world away from paper-dry, tasteless chilli flakes. Heat levels can vary wildly with chili paste, so read the label carefully. It may be a mild chili base, and in that case additional paste will need to be used. There are also some wildly hot chili pastes out there that use Thai chilies which are easily double the heat of cayenne.
