Red pepper
When it comes to red pepper recipes, there is a long and varied history behind them. Peppers have been used in cooking for centuries, with different cultures putting their own unique spin on the popular ingredient.
It is thought that red peppers were first used in Europe during the 16th century. At this time, they were mostly used as a ornamental plant, with little thought given to their culinary potential. It wasn’t until the 18th century that red peppers began to be used more frequently in recipes.
One of the earliest recorded red pepper recipes comes from England, where they were used to make a type of ketchup. This ketchup was made by boiling red peppers down into a thick paste, which was then flavoured with vinegar and spices.
