Choricero Pepper Paste

Choricero Pepper Paste is a concentrated Spanish ingredient made from dried choricero peppers that’s widely used in Basque and broader Spanish cooking to add deep red color and smoky-sweet pepper flavor to stews, sauces and marinades. It’s intensely flavored, so a small spoonful goes a long way. Nutritionally, Choricero Pepper Paste is low in energy at 23kcal per 100 g and supplies modest fiber along with notable amounts of provitamin A carotenoids and vitamin E, while contributing very little fat. Because it’s a concentrated, processed paste, it’s a nutrient-dense way to boost color and antioxidant-rich carotenoids in dishes — just use it sparingly for flavor and to keep added salt and intensity in check.
