Shatta is the fiery condiment that no Egyptian table goes without, made by blending charred red peppers with garlic, vinegar and cumin, then binding it with olive oil. It shows up at parties alongside grilled meats and mezze.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Char the peppers

10 min

Char the peppers over an open flame or in the oven until the skins blacken, then cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes.

2

Peel them

10 min

Peel off the skins and remove the seeds from the steamed peppers.

3

Blend it

5 min

Blend the peeled peppers with the garlic, vinegar, cumin and salt into a smooth paste.

4

Bind with oil

5 min

Stir in the olive oil slowly, and once the mixture thickens transfer it to a serving dish.

Reminder

Covering the charred peppers with plastic wrap to steam makes the skins much easier to peel off.

Sarımsağı 4 diş yerine 2 dişe indirdim çünkü misafirlerimden biri sarımsağa duyarlıydı, sos yine de lezzetliydi ama orijinal kadar keskin olmadı; bir dahakine belki üç dişte durup ortasını bulmayı deneyeceğim.

6 acı biberle yaptığımda benim için oldukça yakıcı oldu, ilk kaşıkta bile gözlerim yaşardı; tatlı kırmızı biber karıştırıp acılığı bir sonraki seferde dengeleyeceğim, misafirlere sunmadan önce tadına bakmanızı öneririm.
