I was a bit disappointed with this paste. It was too smoky for my taste and the heat was a bit overwhelming. I ended up not using it in the dish I was making.

I've been looking for a good red pepper paste recipe for a while and this one is definitely a keeper. It's so easy to make and it tastes delicious. I used it to make shakshuka and it was a hit with my family.

This paste is amazing! It has the perfect balance of smokiness, heat, and sweetness. I used it to make Turkish Eggs and it was the perfect addition. I can't wait to try it in other dishes.

This red pepper paste is a staple in my kitchen. I use it in everything from soups and stews to sandwiches and wraps. It adds a delicious smoky flavor and a bit of heat. I love that it's so easy to make and that I can control the level of spiciness.
