What is Roasted Pepper Paste Sauce?
Roasted pepper paste sauce is a Turkish-style condiment made with roasted peppers and pepper paste. The roasting gives it a smoky, rounded flavour, while the paste brings depth and a thick, spoonable texture. Serve it as a dip with bread, alongside grilled vegetables or meat, or spread a little into a sandwich; it also adds a savoury kick to eggs or pasta. Its peppers contribute vitamin C and antioxidants, while the oil in the sauce makes it more energy-dense than plain roasted peppers. Use a small spoonful to add flavour without overwhelming a meal, or stir it into plain yoghurt for a milder dip.
