This sauce is served with roasted meats in Central Asian cooking. Dried apricots are slowly simmered with spices until pureed. It takes only a few steps; patience and gentle cooking are the key.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Bring to a boil

5 min

Put the dried apricots and water in a pot and bring to a boil.

2

Simmer over low heat

75 min

Add the cinnamon stick and cloves. Simmer over low heat for 75 minutes, until the apricots are completely tender.

3

Blend until smooth

5 min

Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves, then blend the mixture until smooth.

4

Thicken the sauce

10 min

Add the honey, lemon juice, and salt. Simmer over low heat for 10 more minutes, until thickened.

Reminder

Use no more than 3 cloves, since their flavor can quickly overpower the sauce during the long simmer. Remove the cinnamon stick before blending, or it may leave the sauce gritty.

Karanfili tarifte yazdığı gibi üç tane kullandım ama benim damak tadıma fazla baskın geldi, sosun geri kalanını bastırdı ve kayısının tadını gölgeledi. Bir dahaki sefere iki taneyle deneyeceğim, belki daha dengeli çıkar diye düşünüyorum.

Tarifte 300 gram kuru kayısı yazıyor, tam onu kullandım ama sos beklediğimden daha koyu ve az çıktı. Su miktarını 500 mililitreden biraz artırmak sosu daha akışkan yapar mı, yoksa kıvamı bozar mı?
