What is Butter pepper paste sauce?
Butter pepper paste sauce is made by briefly cooking pepper paste in butter, a simple preparation associated with Turkish home cooking. The paste may be sweet or more pungent, while the butter gives the sauce a glossy finish and rounds out its flavour.
Serve it warm over Turkish dumplings or noodles, or spoon a little onto bulgur, vegetables or soup. It is rich and concentrated, so a small amount can bring plenty of flavour; it also gets much of its energy from fat, with 29.4 g per 100 g. For a lighter sauce, use less butter and loosen the paste with a splash of water. It pairs especially well with garlicky yoghurt on dumplings.
