Red Chili Flakes (Aleppo-Style)

Named after the city of Aleppo this popular spice is used on everything from kabobs to grilled vegetables. Indeed, nearly all dishes get a small sprinkling of aleppo. Unlike more common red chile flakes, aleppo peppers are much milder. In addition, these peppers are often cured in salt before they’re dried. The result is a slightly salty pepper flake with the flavor of raisins, prunes, and sun-dried tomatoes. The heat level is also more subtle, but still possess a pleasantly slow burn. We encourage you to keep aleppo in a spare shaker at the table. Perfect for finishing off pizza, mashed potatoes, for giving a bit of kick to soups.
