Urfa Chili
 |
Urfa Chiles, typical of Turkish kitchens, is sun-dried during the day and sweated at night for a number of days. They are named after the town Urfa in Turkey where the chilies are grown. Because of the presence of the stems and seeds, Urfa is hotter than Marash or Aleppo chilies and is purplish/black as opposed to red. This spice has high essential oil content, an aroma of dried fruits and tobacco, and rich earthiness in flavor. Urfa is typical on meat preparations.
