Dogan says the english for pul biber is Paprika but I'm not sure it is. Happy to be corrected on this.

I always called them pepper flakes in the UK but they are just not the same over there.

Best to buy here and take home and it is much cheaper here too especially if you buy at the village market rather than the shops.

Do you have any Turkish supermarkets near you? They will stock the real thing.

The other Guvec ingredients are Rosemary (defo not Thyme as you said) black pepper and salt.

I like it spicy so you add pul biber aci

If you don't like it hot buy pul biber aci yok

Pul - flakes / biber - pepper / aci - spicy

enjoy :D  :) :D

Not sure if it is spicy or not.  
I have bought it to try and make Guvec but never got round to it.

Well I can try.

Nichola knows a Turkish spice but not sure what it is in English. Her other half thinks paprika. Heather is excited that it is paprika, as this means she was previously correct. Nichola asked Heather if paprika was hot, Heather replied that she didn't know whether it was hot.

A whole discussion has taken place about paprika, between two women who don't know between them if it is hot or not.

Pulbiber is made from dried chillies, the strength varies with the type of chilli used.

Paprika is made from dried and crushed red peppers, you can get hot (aci), mild (acisiz), or sweet (tatli).

Bim do a good, reasonably priced Pulbiber.

I use Pulbiber all the time, it is great sprinkled over salads, soups, jacket spuds, in fact anything where you would use salt and pepper if you like spicy food.

It also makes a great marinade for steak, chicken, etc. when mixed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.  ;)
