Smoked Chili Paste in Olive Oil

Smoked Chili Paste in Olive Oil is a spicy, oil-preserved chili paste commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking to add heat and smoky, savory depth to dishes. It combines smoked chilies with olive oil and seasonings to create a spreadable condiment that's used as a flavor booster for sandwiches, marinades, dips and cooked dishes. Nutritionally, Smoked Chili Paste in Olive Oil is oil-rich and provides substantial monounsaturated fat and vitamin E thanks to the olive oil, but it is also fairly high in salt at 5g per 100g, so small portions are typical. The chilies contribute carotenoids and other antioxidant compounds that give the paste its color and some protective phytonutrients. Used sparingly, this type of paste can add bold flavor without needing large quantities of other seasonings; however, choosing lower-sodium or reduced-oil alternatives can make it a healthier swap when trying to limit salt or overall fat intake.Read more
