Aleppo Pepper

This sweet and sharp chile from the Aleppo region of Syria has a moderate heat that doesn't overpower its fruity flavor. Some dishes use only this chile as a seasoning, because the complexity can stand alone. An all around favorite, Aleppo Pepper brings out the best in everything from fish to vegetables to tenderloin. It's a winner in watermelon salad with a squeeze of lime. Try it in this Nigella Watermelon Salad, Aleppo Pepper Muhamarra or Aleppo Pepper Basil Lemonade
