Lamb Köfte from the other day now simmered in a sauce of tinned whole tomatoes and Turkish red pepper paste. This Turkish paste is a brilliant ingredient and is more of a regional thing in Turkey (from what I’ve read). It has a specific taste and smell. Also, it gives a dish an intense colour. I love this paste. It is readily available, if you have access to Turk grocers.
I ate it with pasta, my partner preferred pita bread.
Here comes the weekend!
