Alcha, a tart Azerbaijani plum sauce, is made in minutes by processing ripe red plums with garlic and mint. It is a versatile sauce that can be packed in a lunchbox or spread on bread at brunch.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the plums

3 min

Remove the pits from the plums and put them in a food processor with their skins on.

2

Process the sauce

5 min

Add the garlic cloves, mint, salt, Turkish red pepper flakes, and water, then process until smooth.

3

Adjust the consistency and serve

3 min

If the sauce is too thick, add 1 spoonful of water and stir. Transfer it to a serving bowl and serve right away.

Reminder

If the plums are not tart enough, the sauce will taste flat; choose ripe red plums that still have a tangy flavor.
