A bright, deep red pepper with a medium, balanced, lingering heat. Learn more
Maras is a bright, deep red pepper with a medium, balanced, lingering heat. On most tables in Istanbul you will find small bowls of both Maras and Urfa pepper. Use just as you would ground black pepper, but with far more interesting results.
All of us at Formaggio Kitchen just love this pepper! For more on this and Urfa pepper, visit our travelogue.
Please note our spices are listed by volume, not weight, unless otherwise specified.
We have been using Maras pepper for over 5 years and won’t buy any other pepper flakes. A mild lingering heat and spice. Perfect! We put it on everything! pizza, Eggs, Pasta. I bought some for my parents for a Christmas present and they are hooked!
I made the above recipe from Saveur magazine. The day I served it to my wife, she said the stuffing with the Maras pepper was to spicy. The second day, as leftovers it was wonderful. The bite had smoothed out but the flavor was perfect. The pepper made the dish.
This red pepper not only tastes really great, it gives such a beautiful color too your food. This pepper is incredible on eggs! It is not spicy at all, has a lemony sweet taste but is not sour. My secret ingredient! Absolutely great for grilled meat and baked fish. Enjoy!
I bought this, along with Urfa pepper, for a new steak recipe I was trying at the time. The steak recipe was just okay, but the Maras and Urfa peppers have been a staple in many of my recipes ever since! I use it on everything from salmon to orange chicken to curry, and I love how interesting and versatile it is. I highly recommend it!
