What does Pepper spread taste like?
Pepper spread tastes savory and slightly sweet from the roasted red peppers, with a rich, nutty note when walnuts are included. Its heat varies by recipe; the spread is not necessarily spicy.

How long does Pepper spread last in the refrigerator?
Homemade Pepper spread generally keeps for 3–4 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Use a clean utensil when serving and refrigerate leftovers promptly rather than leaving them out.
Can you freeze Pepper spread?

Can you use Pepper spread in a sandwich?

What is Pepper spread?
Pepper spread is a Turkish-style savoury meze, usually made by blending roasted red peppers with olive oil and garlic; some versions also include walnuts. The peppers may be left slightly coarse or blended until smooth, depending on the recipe.
It has a mellow, smoky sweetness, with garlic adding a savoury edge. Serve it as a dip with bread, alongside grilled dishes, or as part of a mezze spread. Although peppers are the main ingredient, the spread is fairly rich in fat, so a modest spoonful alongside fresh vegetables makes a balanced accompaniment.
