Urfa Pepper - exotic chili from Turkey

It is amazing to me how pepper's flavor changes with different treatment. The example there is that they have different flakes based on the time in the sun. I have found peppers flavor change with cooking and/or drying.
 
Urfa pepper's flavor is a result of a week-long sun-drying process. They're wrapped up tightly at night and sweated and that really brings out a smoky flavor. Then the peppers are pounded into flakes and sprinkled with olive oil and salt, which really enhances the flavor. You've got to try them!
 
Thanks for the warm welcome!
