Product Description

Ottolenghi Pilpelchuma Paste Marinade 180g is a bold and flavourful chilli paste inspired by the traditional North African condiment. Combining roasted red peppers, garlic, cumin, chipotle chilli and Aleppo pepper flakes, it delivers a rich blend of smoky, savoury and spicy flavours that transform everyday cooking.

Pilpelchuma is known for its ability to add depth and warmth to a wide variety of dishes, and this Ottolenghi version stays true to that tradition while incorporating carefully balanced ingredients for maximum flavour. Roasted peppers provide natural sweetness and body, while garlic, cumin and caraway add earthy complexity. The addition of smoked paprika and chipotle chilli creates a gentle smoky heat that builds without overpowering.

Use it as a marinade for meat, fish or vegetables, stir it into stews and sauces, or spoon it into soups for an instant flavour boost. It also works brilliantly when tossed through roasted vegetables or mixed into grain dishes. Whether you're creating slow-cooked meals or looking for a quick way to add bold flavour, this versatile paste is a valuable addition to any kitchen.
