Toprak Doğal Hot Pepper Paste (Acı Biber Salçası) is a thick, deep-red Turkish red pepper paste made the Kahramanmaraş (Maraş) way: sun-ripened red hot peppers, cleaned and milled, then concentrated under the open sun over several days before a little salt is stirred in. The result is the dense, spoonable paste Turkish cooks reach for when tomato paste alone isn't enough.
The flavour is what sets Maraş pepper paste apart: a warming, building heat rather than a sharp burn, wrapped in a smoky, faintly sweet, sun-dried-pepper depth. The texture is thick and concentrated, so a single spoonful carries colour, aroma and a savoury chilli backbone into a whole pot.
Ingredients: red hot pepper, salt, vegetable oil. Net weight 400g. Product of Türkiye (Kahramanmaraş region). Store in a cool, dry place; refrigerate after opening.
How to use acı biber salçası:
- Soups & stews: stir a spoonful into lentil soup, bean dishes or any tomato-based stew for instant depth and gentle heat.
- Marinades & grills: rub onto chicken, lamb, beef or kebabs before grilling for colour and a smoky chilli edge.
- Sauces & rice: melt into menemen, shakshuka, pilaf, pasta sauces and köfte mixes.
- Breakfast & mezze: spread thinly on warm bread, pide or simit, or whisk with olive oil and lemon as a quick dip.
Use it the way you'd use tomato paste, but expect more aroma and a real chilli kick. For a milder finish, start with half a teaspoon and build to taste. A staple of Turkish, Levantine and wider Mediterranean cooking, this Turkish hot pepper paste is an easy way to bring authentic Maraş flavour to an everyday kitchen anywhere in the world.
