How to Enjoy

Add a few slices to pizza, focaccia or sandwiches for a spicy finish. Stir them into tomato pasta sauces, scatter over grilled vegetables or use them to add heat to beans, stews and Mediterranean-style dishes.

They also make a lively addition to an Italian antipasti platter alongside olives, cheeses and cured meats. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference for chilli heat.
