Wherever you want character

Stir a teaspoon into your marinade for chicken, pork or ribs. The heat stays, the flavour settles in.

A dab in a stew, tomato sauce or griot adds deep, fragrant warmth.

Brush onto a fillet before cooking or whisk into a lemon butter for shrimp.

Mix with mayo, yogurt or ketchup for a punchy dip in ten seconds.

Add at the end of cooking to wake up rice, pasta or roasted vegetables.

On eggs, in soup, on pizza or a sandwich: a tiny touch is plenty.
For a dish serving 4, start with 1/4 teaspoon. Heat lovers can go up to a full teaspoon.
Add fat or sweetness: cream, yogurt, coconut milk, butter or a pinch of sugar will tame the heat.
Added early, the heat melts into the dish. Added at the end, it stays sharper.
