Spicy oily tomato sauce is made by cooking tomatoes with oil and chili until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens. Garlic and spices are common additions, but recipes vary; cook it until the oil and tomato mixture are well combined.
Spicy oily tomato sauce works as a condiment, pasta sauce, or base for eggs and cooked vegetables. Its oil and chili bring plenty of flavor, so start with a small spoonful when adding it to a dish.
Yes, spicy oily tomato sauce can be spread in a thin layer over pizza dough. Use less than you would of a plain tomato sauce, since the oil can make the crust greasy and the chili may overpower other toppings.
Keep spicy oily tomato sauce in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator after opening. Use a clean spoon each time, and discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or signs of fermentation.
Yes, spicy oily tomato sauce freezes well in small, freezer-safe portions. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir while reheating if the oil has separated; freezing may slightly change the sauce's texture but usually does not prevent it from being used in cooked dishes.
Spicy oily tomato sauce is based on tomatoes, oil, and chili, while garlic, salt, and other seasonings depend on the recipe. There is no single fixed ingredient list, so the sauce can range from mildly spiced to distinctly hot.
Spicy oily tomato sauce can separate because oil and the watery tomato mixture do not stay permanently emulsified. Stir it before serving or while warming it; separation alone is not a sign that the sauce has spoiled.
To make spicy oily tomato sauce less hot, mix in more cooked tomato or serve it with a cooling food such as plain yogurt. Adding extra oil may soften the sensation but can make the sauce unnecessarily greasy.
Spicy oily tomato sauce can replace marinara in cooked dishes, but it will make them hotter and richer. Use a smaller amount at first, especially in pasta or casseroles, and adjust the other seasonings after tasting.
Serve spicy oily tomato sauce with bread, eggs, grilled vegetables, or roasted meats. Plain rice, pasta, or a cooling dip can balance its chili and oil when you want it alongside a fuller meal.

Spicy oily tomato sauce is a Turkish-style sauce made by cooking crushed or grated tomatoes with oil and chilli. Garlic and other seasonings may be added, and the balance of heat and richness varies from one household recipe to another.
Its concentrated tomato flavour, soft texture and warming chilli make it good spread on bread or served alongside cheese and olives at breakfast. It can also be offered as a meze, or stirred into eggs, pasta or other simple meals. Tomatoes provide lycopene, while the oil contributes fat; a 100 g portion has 8 g of fat. For a lighter version, use less oil and let the tomatoes provide most of the body.
