persian purgin'.

















Bit of a bait and switch afoot here. Though that was a convenient title for this post, I'm afraid that this next lurking fridge troll is not Persian at all, it's biber salçase. Literally, eh..."pepper paste". Turkish.

What we use this for? I mean, I read the Wikipedia entry, but I need recipes. In English, por favor.

Well, this is not a bad place to start.
This is also very informative.

Ah, yes...these are a few of my favorite things. But I too can't believe that you don't fry them...it's hard to believe the texture is appetizing by just mashing them together, you know?
