Blended chilli pepper

Blended chili pepper is a smooth or slightly textured mix made from fresh or dried chili peppers, often combined with other ingredients like onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers for extra flavor. It’s a key ingredient in Nigerian cooking, forming the base for many beloved dishes like jollof rice, pepper soup, stews, and assorted meat sauces. The heat level depends on the type of chili used — from scotch bonnet for fiery spice to tatashe (red bell peppers) for a milder, richer taste. Blended chili pepper not only brings heat but also adds vibrant color and a bold, savory depth to meals — a true kitchen essential for spicy, flavorful dishes.
