Spice Club Kit: Maras Chili Flakes

August's Spice is Maras Chili Flakes! Pickup begins August 1st, 2023 at 10:00 AM throughout the month of August, while supplies last.

Join us for our West Linn Public Library Spice Club. Cooking enthusiasts and novices alike may stop by the library and pick up a Spice Club Kit, which includes a spice sampling and recipes. Participants are asked to use the spice in their cooking at home, and can use the recipes provided to them, find a new recipe online, or replace a spice in a favorite recipe.

Kits will be distributed on a first come first serve basis, and will be located next to the Information Desk on the first floor. 

“Maras, Chiles and Peperoncini: Maras pepper, the seeded and dried Turkish pul biber (pepper flakes), is similar to Aleppo Pepper, from the neighboring eponymous Syrian town. Maras Pepper is medium-hot, with wonderful fruity aromatic undertones; some people find it similar to ancho chili. It is cultivated, dried, and exported from the Kahraman Maras province, near the Syrian border.” Mediterranean Vegetarian Feasts by Aglaia Kremezi
