Crushed Hot Chili Peppers


From Molinari's Delicatessen in San Francisco.

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I stopped at Molinari's Delicatessen for lunch.  
It is in North Beach, the Italian neighborhood of San Francisco.  The place is packed full of interesting dry goods, and amazing salamis and cheeses.  Their sandwiches are out of this world!

I received a tip from a waiter at a pizzeria just up the street, that they use this crushed hot chili pepper product on some of their pizzas and salads.  So, of course I had to check it out myself, and buy some to bring home.

Finding uses for this product is not a problem! Rationing it is!
Of course the obvious is to have it along side your favorite tomato and pasta dish.  Spread it with a little mayo on a sandwich, serve it with any main course you want to add a bit of spice to.  Mix it into your favorite chili or soup.  The ideas are endless!

Mixing these chili peppers into an olive tapenade is what inspired this post.  Sometimes we need to look at all those condiments in our refrigerator with new eyes.  Get inspired and creative and try something new!!

As Always,
ENJOY!
