This thick pepper paste spreads easily and melts into hot oil, releasing a rich, deep red colour as it cooks. Stir a spoonful into a hot pan before adding onions and garlic, and it forms the base of a good stew or casserole. The paste is dense and concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Use it to build flavour in rice dishes, lentil soups and slow-cooked meat dishes, where it adds body and colour to the finished sauce. It also works well spread thinly on bread or flatbread, or mixed into a simple dip with yoghurt or olive oil. Many home cooks stir it through minced meat mixtures before shaping kofte or meatballs, giving the mixture extra depth once cooked. Spoon out only what you need, using a clean, dry spoon each time to keep the rest of the jar in good condition. Once opened, keep the jar in the fridge and press the surface of the paste flat before sealing, which helps it stay usable for longer. A layer of oil spooned over the top after use can also help protect the paste between meals. Keep the jar tightly closed when not in use and store it away from direct heat. This pepper paste suits everyday cooking, from a quick weeknight stew to a weekend batch of stuffed peppers or a simple tomato-based sauce.
