Dried isot pepper is a dark, aromatic chili pepper associated with Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey. The peppers are dried and crushed or flaked, producing a fruity, earthy flavor that is especially familiar in regional dishes such as çiğ köfte.
Dried isot pepper tastes fruity and earthy, with a deep, smoky impression and a heat level that varies by batch. It brings more than simple chili burn, so start with a small pinch if you are trying it in a dish for the first time.
Dried isot pepper is made from ripe red chilies that are dried and then prepared into flakes or smaller pieces. Traditional Şanlıurfa methods include stages of drying and resting that develop the pepper’s characteristic dark color and concentrated flavor.
Add dried isot pepper to çiğ köfte, kebabs, soups, stews, or eggs for a distinctive chili flavor. You can stir it into a dish near the end of cooking or sprinkle it over the finished food; prolonged frying can make the pepper taste bitter.
No, dried isot pepper and Aleppo pepper are different regional chili products. Both can add fruity warmth, but isot is typically darker and has a deeper, earthier character; swapping one for the other will change the flavor of a recipe.
Dried isot pepper can be moderately hot, but its heat varies with the peppers and batch. Its flavor is also quite pronounced, so use a little at first and add more after tasting rather than measuring it like a mild paprika.
Aleppo pepper or ordinary chili flakes can stand in for dried isot pepper when needed. Neither reproduces isot’s dark, earthy flavor exactly, so begin with less than the recipe calls for and adjust the heat and taste as you go.
Dried isot pepper gets its deep red-brown to nearly black appearance from the drying and traditional resting process. A dark color is characteristic and does not by itself mean the pepper is burnt or dyed; discard it if you find signs of mold or dampness.
Store dried isot pepper in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight and steam. Moisture can make the flakes clump or spoil, so use a dry spoon and avoid sprinkling it directly over a steaming pot.
Yes, dried isot pepper works well in chili oil. Put the pepper in a heatproof bowl and pour over warm oil rather than frying the flakes over high heat; very hot oil can burn them and leave the finished oil bitter.

Dried isot pepper is the dried form of isot, a dark chilli closely associated with Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey. Its traditional preparation gives it a deep, slightly smoky character, with warmth that can build alongside its distinctive peppery flavour.
In Turkey, it is commonly stirred into çiğ köfte and used to season kebabs, lahmacun filling, eggs and salads. Elsewhere, try a little in soups, marinades or roasted vegetables; it pairs especially well with tomato, onion and lemon. It is a concentrated seasoning rather than something usually eaten by itself, so start with a small pinch and adjust to taste. A small teaspoon is about a 2 g serving.
