What is Chili flakes in butter?
Chili flakes in butter is a simple Turkish-style finishing sauce: butter is melted, then briefly warmed with dried red pepper flakes so their colour and flavour infuse the fat. It should smell fragrant rather than toasted; cooking the flakes too long can make them bitter.
A spoonful is often served over mantı, eggs, soup or vegetables, and it also makes a flavourful dip for bread. The butter gives it a rich, rounded taste, while the flakes bring warmth and a little texture. It is mostly fat, so a small amount goes a long way. For a lighter serving, use just enough to season the dish, or spoon it over yoghurt-based foods for a creamy, spicy contrast.
