Red Chillies Crushed

The iconic crushed Red chillies are found on restaurant tables in pizzerias, as well as kitchen cupboards up and down the country. This crushed seasoning is highly versatile, and a small sprinkle adds heat and a peppery flavour to its dishes.

Red chilli flakes are popular within Italian cooking to add heat to pizzas and pasta. You will also see these flakes scattered in Asian stir-fries or dusted over broths. The flakes are also used to add flavour to burger patties, meatballs and potato wedges.

Alongside being versatile, crushed red chillies are popular because they allow cooks to adjust the level of heat in a dish. By adding more or fewer flakes, you can easily control the spiciness to suit your taste or the preferences of those you’re cooking for.

Crushed red chilli flakes are easy to use and have a longer shelf life compared to fresh chilli peppers. They are readily available and can be used year-round, regardless of chilli pepper season.

Named one of our essential store cupboard seasonings, try using these chillies to make one of our recipes for Spicy Beans, Five Spice Chinese Chicken or Sambhar.
