Urfa Chilli (also known as Urfa Biber) is a slightly sweet, slightly smokey, deep maroon Turkish chilli pepper sold in flakes. It’s perfect as a seasoning on a variety of dishes, but is traditionally used on lamb or sauteed with tomatoes and eggplant.

The Urfa Chilli's distinct taste comes from its unique drying process. Peppers are sun-dried during the day and wrapped tightly at night, allowing them to develop their characteristic flavour and deep colour.
