Köfteci Yusuf Ezme Sauce is a ready-to-serve Turkish-style condiment built around tomato and pepper, taking its cue from ezme, the finely chopped, seasoned relish served across Turkey. It is made for the table rather than as a standalone dish, and pairs naturally with köfte and other grilled foods.
Expect a bright, gently fiery flavour and a slightly textured consistency. Serve it alongside grilled meat, spoon it into a wrap, or spread a little on bread; it also works as a quick dip with vegetables. Its vegetable-led profile is relatively light, with 58 calories per 100 g. For a lighter meal, use a modest spoonful and pair it with grilled vegetables, salad or plain yoghurt.
