Made by sizzling tomato paste in melted butter, this sauce is drizzled over menemen or fried eggs as a classic breakfast finishing touch. Cooking the paste briefly in the butter both deepens its colour and concentrates its flavour.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Melt the butter

3 min

Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat until it foams.

2

Cook the tomato paste

5 min

Add the tomato paste and red pepper flakes, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the paste darkens and turns deep red.

3

Adjust the consistency and serve

2 min

Add the water and stir for 2 more minutes to reach a pourable consistency, then serve hot.

Reminder

Don't turn up the heat while the paste cooks — on high heat it burns quickly and turns bitter. Allergens: contains dairy (butter).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

For more heat, increase the red pepper flakes to a teaspoon; the chilli's bite intensifies noticeably in hot butter.

Tereyağı yerine elimde olan sadeyağla denedim, kavurma süresi yine aynı 5 dakikada tamamlandı ve sonuçta tat beklediğimden çok daha yoğun bir tereyağı hissi verdi, epey beğendim.
