What is Butter and red pepper sauce?
A familiar Turkish finishing touch, butter and red pepper sauce is made by gently warming ground pepper or pepper flakes in melted butter. In Turkey, it is commonly spooned over mantı, soups and eggs, and also suits noodles, vegetables or yogurt-based dishes. Serve it warm, just before eating, so the butter stays fluid and aromatic.
The flavor is rich and buttery, with the pepper bringing color, gentle sweetness or heat depending on the variety. It is mostly fat, so a little goes a long way as a topping rather than a substantial sauce. For a lighter plate, use a small drizzle and pair it with plain yogurt or vegetables.
