Burcu spicy breakfast sauce is a jarred Turkish-style condiment made with a tomato base and hot peppers. It brings a bright, tangy tomato flavour and a noticeable chilli kick, with a spoonable texture that works as a spread or dip.
In Turkey, it is commonly set out at breakfast with bread, eggs, cheese and olives, and it also suits a leisurely brunch or a simple snack. Elsewhere, try it alongside eggs, toast or a savoury breakfast plate; a little goes a long way if you prefer milder heat. It is relatively light, at 70 calories per 100 g, but low in protein, so think of it as a flavourful accompaniment rather than the main part of a meal. Pair it with vegetables or a protein-rich dish for a more filling plate.
