About this deal

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. About 90g green peppers, preferably a slightly hot variety such as sivri biber or padrón, or a mix of green peppers and 1 mild chilli Pul biber (made from Aleppo pepper flakes) is the best substitute for hot gochugaru, and Indian chilli powder ( Kashmiri chilli powder) is best for mild gochugaru. If you don’t love spicy food, you can reduce the heat of your dish by using sweet paprika and adding as much heat as you can tolerate with cayenne pepper, one small pinch at a time.

Aleppo pepper recipes - BBC Food

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. Khan’s recipe in Ripe Figs, her book on the cooking of the eastern Mediterranean, is the only one I find that calls for a red pepper. It makes her dish beautifully rich and sweet, but I miss the bitter warmth that the green variety brings to proceedings – if you’re less of a fan, however, you may be reassured to know that you have options. I’m more taken with Khan’s generous hand with the tomatoes; she uses six for two people, which is more than double the amount called for in most other recipes. Not only does this give her dish bags of flavour, but it also helps keep it fairly liquid, which is important, because, as far as I can tell, the worst crime a menemen can be accused of is being dry. The paste has a dark, red colour with an intensely savoury, sweet, spicy, and almost smoky taste. The sweetness is from the starch of cooked glutinous rice, cultured with enzymes during fermentation.

In terms of heat, Aleppo peppers are actually quite hot. They score roughly 10,000 heat units on the Scoville heat scale, ranking as a moderately hot pepper. Therefore, if you have an intolerance to chili or ingredients with high heat, I encourage you to select one of the milder Aleppo pepper substitutes. In short, you can find Aleppo peppers in any Asian specialty store. Also, if you have a favourite Middle Eastern restaurant in your neighbourhood, you can also consider asking them where they source it. Oftentimes, I’ve been able to locate ingredients by asking the right people. If you live in a larger town, you should also consider attending the local community market. Gochugaru ranges from mild to moderate intensity (1,500 to 10,000 Scoville heat units). It has a vibrant red colour and a sweet, spicy flavour with a hint of smokiness. The texture is either a fine powder or coarsely ground flakes (without seeds).
