Turkish Pepper Paste (hot) by Öncü brand – or Acı Biber Salçası in Turkish – is a thick deep red paste made using peppers grown in the South-Eastern region of Turkey. Crushed and sun-dried handpicked red peppers are turned into a thick paste adding salt as a preservative to ensure a longer shelf life. Although making your own pepper paste at home is widely practiced by women in villages and small towns, even today, a store-bought packaged unit is ideal for home and cooking use as it is available in convenient glass jars/bottles.
Known for its wonderful texture and rich flavor, Öncü Hot Pepper Paste is a popular ingredient in the Turkish cuisine. This hot pepper paste, called Biber Salçası in Turkish, can be enjoyed in a whole raft of dishes, and used in much the same way (and sometimes in tandem with) tomato paste. Use the Turkish pepper paste in preparing dips, spreads and salads, to flavor soups, stews, stir-frys, or even to add a bit of excitement to a bowl of plain rice. It can also bring an interesting twist to your taste buds when used in unexpected recipes that may require a little heat.
