Breakfast sauce tastes savory, with sweetness and tang from the tomato paste, pepper flavor, and a nutty finish from the walnuts. Its exact heat and texture vary with the pepper and how finely the ingredients are blended.
Breakfast sauce is commonly served with bread, toast, or crackers. It also works alongside eggs, cheese, and olives on a breakfast spread; offer it as a condiment so people can add as much as they like.
To make breakfast sauce, soften chopped pepper in sunflower oil, stir in tomato paste, then mix in chopped walnuts. Let it cool before serving. Adjust the texture by chopping the walnuts finely or leaving them in larger pieces.
Breakfast sauce is not necessarily spicy. Its heat depends on whether the pepper is sweet or hot, so a mild version can be made with sweet pepper and a hotter one with chili added to taste.
Keep breakfast sauce covered in the refrigerator after opening, and use a clean spoon each time. If it is homemade, let it cool before refrigerating it in a sealed container; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, you can freeze breakfast sauce in small portions. The oil may separate from the other ingredients after thawing, so defrost it in the refrigerator and stir it well before serving.
Yes, breakfast sauce can be stirred into hot pasta as a quick, peppery sauce. Loosen it with a little pasta cooking water, add it off the heat, and taste before adding salt because tomato paste can already be salty.
Yes, breakfast sauce makes a flavorful sandwich spread. Add a thin layer to bread with cheese, egg, or roasted vegetables; spreading it sparingly helps keep the bread from becoming soggy.
You can replace the walnuts in breakfast sauce with finely chopped sunflower seeds or almonds. The flavor and texture will change, but the replacement still adds a nutty quality; blend it finely for a smoother sauce.
Breakfast sauce can fit into a balanced meal, but its sunflower oil makes it rich, so a modest spread is practical. Pair it with eggs or fresh vegetables and bread rather than relying on it as the whole meal.

Breakfast sauce is a Turkish-style spread made with sunflower oil, pepper, tomato paste and walnuts. It brings together the savoury, concentrated flavour of pepper and tomato with a slightly coarse texture from the nuts; recipes vary in how sweet or spicy they taste.
In Turkey, it is commonly served at breakfast with bread, cheese and olives, or spread inside a toast. Outside Turkey, it works well as a savoury dip or sandwich spread. Its character is rich and oil-forward, so a modest spoonful with fresh vegetables or bread makes an easy addition to the table.
