For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the red pepper flakes. This spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness. Excellent served with crusty bread, crackers, or as a flavorful addition to pasta dishes.
