This sauce takes seconds to make by combining melted butter with Turkish red pepper flakes. It is a classic accompaniment to manti and kisir in Turkish cuisine. Despite its simple ingredients, it adds both color and character to the plate.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Melt the butter

3 min

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. When it starts to foam, move it slightly off the heat.

2

Add the spices

2 min

Add the Turkish red pepper flakes and optional cumin to the melted butter. Stir for a few seconds to release their aroma, taking care not to burn the pepper flakes.

3

Serve warm

1 min

Season with salt and immediately drizzle the warm sauce over manti, kisir, or yayla soup.

Reminder

Allergen: contains milk and dairy. Important: Move the pan slightly off the heat before adding the pepper flakes to the butter; they can burn very quickly. Do not make the sauce ahead and let it stand, as the butter will solidify as it cools and lose its pourable consistency.
