Menemenlik Sauce

Materials

• Tomatoes for Sauce and Paste 2 kg
• Metro Chef Green Pepper 500 g
• Metro Chef Olive Oil 120 ml
• Metro Chef Peeled Garlic 2 pieces
• Aroma Sugar 5 g
• Aroma Salt 10 g
• Balsamic Vinegar 10 ml
• Metro Chef Fresh Thyme 1 piece
• Metro Chef Bay Leaf 2 pieces

Preparation of

Lightly roast the tomatoes and peppers in the oven or on the stovetop. Peel the skins, dice the tomatoes, and thinly slice the peppers. Roasting adds a deep, smoky flavor to the sauce. Heat the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves in olive oil for a few minutes. Strain and set aside. Heat the flavored olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the finely chopped peppers and sauté for 5–6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the peeled and diced tomatoes and salt. Cook the mixture over low heat for 30–40 minutes, or until the tomatoes have absorbed their juices. At the end of the cooking, add balsamic vinegar and granulated sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes and achieve a sweet-tart harmonious consistency. While the mixture simmers, pour it into sterilized jars.
