How to use it
Scatter half a teaspoon over pizza, pasta, roasted vegetables or eggs at the table, or warm a teaspoon gently in olive oil for a chilli oil to drizzle. A teaspoon also goes into a tomato sauce or a marinade at the start of cooking. Begin with half a teaspoon for four servings and adjust. Technique tip: warm the flakes in oil off direct heat rather than in a hot dry pan, since the seeds in the flakes burn quickly and turn the whole batch bitter.
