Pilpelchuma is a Libyan chilli paste—a blend of roasted peppers, garlic, cumin, and a fiery hit of chilli. Add a spoonful whenever your dish needs a kick. It’s ideal for enriching sauces and stews, or as a quick coating when roasting vegetables. One spoonful, and you’ll wonder how you ever cooked without it.

Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 4 weeks.
