Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons Aleppo pepper
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried Greek oregano, crumbled
    • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, toasted and crushed
    • 1 tablespoon crushed dried orange peel
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried mint, crumbled
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled
    • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
    • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

    • 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Place Aleppo pepper, oregano, fennel seeds, orange peel, mint, and basil in a mortar. Combine ingredients using a pestle. Measure out 3 tablespoons and set aside. The remaining spice mixture is the hot-pepper mix.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, olive oil, parsley, and garlic. Stir in reserved 3 tablespoons hot pepper mix until mixture resembles wet sand. If it does not, add more olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. This is the pepper-breadcrumb mix.
