Notes
You can add more or less Aleppo pepper/chili flakes to taste depending on if you want it more spicy or not. If you find it is a bit thick, add a little more olive oil.
Make sure you drain the peppers before using. You can also roast your own either over a gas flame/grill or in oven until lightly charred, put in a bag to sweat as it cools then peel off skin and remove seeds.
