Use this Calabrian delight as a panini or sandwich spread for a tasty alternative to other options like mayonnaise. A spoonful makes a great addition to pasta sauces or dips. It can also be used as a condiment for roasted vegetables, grilled meat. However you decide to use it, you'll find that the Calabrian peppers bring a unique flavor to your homemade creations.
