Haragos Pista 150g - Extra Hot Chilli Paste

Haragos Pista is the extra spicy version of Erős Pista, made with fiery hot red chilli peppers. It is perfect for those seeking maximum heat and flavour.

What is Haragos Pista?

This fiery Hungarian condiment, whose name translates to "Angry Steve," is made by coarsely grinding raw, hot red peppers that have been specially selected for their spiciness.

This unique condiment delivers scorching heat that will bring a tear to even the most dedicated spice enthusiasts while maintaining the authentic flavour of fresh peppers that is a cornerstone of Hungarian cuisine.

According to the manufacturer, it has an official heat level of around 4000 SHU on the Scoville Scale, but chilli lovers estimate this to be closer to 12,000 SHU.

How can I use it?

The raw peppers are preserved with salt, which gives Haragos Pista a very long shelf life; however, this should be taken into account when preparing recipes.

• Add it to goulash, pepper stews or chiken paprikash to bring the maximum amount of mouth-watering heat while staying true to the Hungarian origins of these classic dishes. 
• Add a small amount to sauces and marinades, or mix it into curries and casseroles to experience the best of fiery fusion cuisine.
• A dash will give your sandwiches, toasties, and pizza an intense spicy kick which will linger long on your palate and in your memory.
• It makes an excellent novelty gift for chilli enthusiasts who are looking to experience the hottest sauces from around the world.
