Chili Paste, Homemade (Reduced Oil)

Chili Paste, Homemade (Reduced Oil) is a versatile, homemade chili paste often used as a condiment or flavor base in Southeast Asian, Chinese and Mediterranean-inspired cooking; this version uses roasted peppers, garlic and olive oil with reduced sugar and oil. It delivers concentrated flavor and also contributes vitamins commonly found in peppers. Nutrition-wise, it is relatively high in sodium at 4g per 100g, so it’s best used sparingly. Despite that, the recipe provides vitamin-rich peppers (notably vitamin C) and a favorable fat profile from olive oil, and contains antioxidant carotenoids from the red peppers that contribute to its bright color and potential health benefits.
