Omega Crushed Chilli Flakes: red chilli flakes for pizza, pasta, stir-fries and chilli oil. Single 1 kg pack.
Crushed chilli flakes are dried red chillies broken into flakes with their seeds. They are the classic pizza and pasta topping, and add heat to arrabbiata sauce, stir-fries, chilli oil, marinades, roasted vegetables and eggs. Flakes release heat gradually, so taste as you go. Warm them in olive oil to make a quick chilli-infused oil for drizzling. Crushed red pepper is made from dried and crushed red chillies, most often cayenne-type peppers. The flakes keep well when sealed, but humidity can make them soft and clump, so close the pack tightly after each use. In Italian cooking they are known as peperoncino and season arrabbiata, aglio olio and spicy pizza, while in Korea and Turkey similar flakes are used to season soups, kebabs and grilled vegetables. Shake a little over cheese toasties for an easy kick.
