This meze is made by simmering ripe tomatoes with hot pepper and pomegranate molasses until thick, balancing tangy and spicy flavors. Served spread on bread or alongside fried foods, it adds a bright splash of color to the table.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the vegetables

8 min

Peel and grate the tomatoes; finely chop the red pepper and hot pepper, and grate the onion.

2

Sauté and Cook

20 min

Sauté the onion and peppers in olive oil for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, pepper paste, and salt, then cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened.

3

Serve

3 min

Remove from the heat, add the pomegranate molasses, and stir. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Reminder

Important: Peeling the tomatoes makes the spread smoother; stir frequently over low heat to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Çocuklar sebzeli olduğunu fark etmeden yediler, bu da ayrı bir başarı.
