Ezme (Turkish Kebab Style Chilli Sauce)

A bold, tangy, and refreshing Turkish salad (or condiment) made with finely chopped ripe tomatoes, red chilli, and garlic, infused with pomegranate molasses for a hint of sweetness. Sumac, pul biber, and lemon juice bring a perfect balance of acidity and spice, while olive oil ties everything together. Perfect as a dip, salad topper, or meze accompaniment to grilled dishes.

Notes

Pro Tip✨: For a smoother texture and deeper flavour, pound the ingredients in a mortar and pestle or pulse in a food processor instead of mixing- this helps release the natural juices and blend the flavours beautifully.
