What is the spicy garnish next to the salt, pepper and cheese in pizza hut called?

Question

Also can you buy this stuff in the shops?

It looks like lots of brown seeds, in a similar pot as the cheese.
I always put loads of this spicy stuff on my pizza but i have never known what it is.

Thanks

Answer 1

crushed red pepper

Answer 2

"thatguy" is correct. It is crushed red pepper.



Crushed red peppers can be found in nearly every major supermarket's spice aisle. Normally, the color of the seed (and the pod) are a reddish-brown but if you're lucky enough you may be able to get hands on the bright-red/lighter crushed red peppers which are spicier and fresher.



And, yes, I do like crushed red peppers on my pizza too! :-)

Answer 8

they are grated, dried red peppers, and you can buy them quite cheaply in the spice or ethnic food section of your grocery store. Usually a half-pound bag is 99 cents. I lovelovelove it, too even though it gives me heartburn, lol. Good luck!

Answer 9

They are Chilli Flakes, one of my favourites.

Chili flakes are the dried seeds of chili pods. The amount of heat in chili flakes depends on the variety of chili pepper and where it was grown.

Answer 10

In Italiano, we say "peperoncini". They are dried red peppers that are primarily grown in Calabria, Italy.



Not all red peppers are equal...

- Italian Cayenne variety, hot.

- Ciliegia (cherry), big, medium hot. Often used stuffed, then pickled or in olive oil.

- Ciliegia , small cherry, hot. Available as whole pods, in olive oil or dried.

- Naso di Cane, mild and hot variety, offered dry, tied on a string.

- Amando, hot to very hot.

- Sigaretta, very hot, grows upright in clusters.

- Chiltepin-like variety with just 1/4" in diameter, very hot. Got this one served in olive oil at a restaurant.

- Peperone, dolce (sweet). Used fresh in salads, roasted and skinned for antipasti (appetizers) and pasta sauces, as well as dried.
