Aleyna Red Roasted Peppers, 480g

They come on a carboard tray covered in thick film. Good quality glass jars, and very tight lids, you'll need strong hands or a gadget to open. Full of flavour. Great chopped up in a pilaf, in salads, in soups, stews and casseroles of every conceivable description, on sandwiches with tuna, chicken or roasted meats. These are indispensible, and so thrilled I no longer have to travel miles and explore the bowels of densely stocked delis and Asian supermarkets any more. Obviously a lot cheaper back in Turkey, but transport costs, and we don't use as much or as many of them here, yet. Just thrilled to find tnem at an affordable price. They are a bit slimy, because they have been roasted and the outer skns removed. Some odd bits of blackened, roasted skin remain, but they just add smokiness to the flavour. They lose the crunch with the roasting , but that roasting enhances the flavour and makes them far more tender. They are lovely. Best to use them quickly once the bottle is opened. These are not stuffed with the tangy white cheese of the Med, feta or beyaz peynir, which are great in salads or as a mezze, tapas type side dish, but can be stuffed if you wish. I wouldn't bother. Just buy the stuffed version when you want them. Not everything you make in your own kitchen is the very best tasting and the cheapest. That's a western vanity. When real experts grow and prepare and sell speciality products, then don't hesitate, buy and eat the best.

Sweet ready roasted whole bell peppers. These have so many uses it would be impossible to list them here. At the most basic release from jar, add some oil and seasoning and eat as part of tapas, mezze, small plates whatever you want to call them. Chop and use as part of your best steak sandwich dressing. I will grill a chicken breast slice one of these peppers place on top of chicken, leaves and melting cheese on top in a ciabatta or baguette for an amazing sandwich. I also use in stews, wraps, chilli and sausage and bean dishes. Fully yum product.

These are delicious: they’re ready-cooked sweet red peppers, chargrilled so they're really packed with flavour. They’ve got much more of a smokey taste to them than other brands I’ve tried but I like it nonetheless. The peppers come immersed in a water/vinegar solution rather than oil (you can’t taste or smell the vinegar) so they’re low in fat. They’re ready to use straight out the jar (don’t rinse them as the tasty chargrilled skins fall off). They’re whole peppers so they’re quite big but you can just chop up as required... My only real criticism here is that the peppers are very very soft; other brands I've tried have been firmer and easier to handle. Overall, very good. This is an incredibly versatile ingredient to elevate pretty much any meal - everything from sandwiches, wraps and burgers to main dishes like chicken, fish, pasta, rice, quinoa or lentils etc; great for adding a new dimension to a plain mozzarella pizza or for revamping leftovers. N o t e . This is a longlife product but the label states to refrigerate once opened and eat within 8 days: in my experience the peppers stay fresh and taste the same for several weeks after opening.

Well prepared and still crunchy, good price for this quality

I like to have always these on my cupboard, they are great to complement a salad or to do a salted jam, mixing it with feta cheese and oregano. Love it!!

Really good texture and taste.

Love these straight out of jar

Nice peppers, not spicy, easy to use for salads, sandwiches etc.
