I've read severail recipes calling for Aleppo pepper paste lately. What is it? Where can you get it?

Thanks.

Penzey's sells dried/crushed aleppo peppers, apparently. You can get either aleppo peppers or pepper paste through Amazon, but not aleppo pepper paste.

Not sure if I've helped...

Fitzie,

There's also Turkish Red Pepper paste, which is made by pureeing lots of red peppers (such as Aleppo peppers, or red bells for a milder paste) and then cooking them down over low heat for several hours. If you're dealing with a recipe which calls for 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of red pepper paste, this is probably the kind they mean.
