Simple Kebab Shop Chilli Sauce
This simple kebab shop style chilli sauce is full of fresh red chillis and garlic along with a good tang of tomato. It’s super quick to make and is the perfect accompaniment to any Turkish, Greek, or Lebanese charcoal grilled meats.
It also makes for a delicious dip, great with crisps or fresh bread.
This recipe is a clone of my local kebab shops, house made chilli sauce. Outside The Charcoal Grill on a Friday evening there’s a queue round the corner, of people waiting for their doner, shish, kofte, grilled wings, and more. It’s not a fancy Meze place, it only serves Turkish street food, and it does that very well!

Ingredients
3 3 Red Chillies
1 1 Yellow Onion
4 Cloves 4 Garlic
1 Can 1 Tomatoes
2 Tbsp 2 Tomato Purée
2 Tbsp 2 Light Olive Oil
1/2 tsp 1/2 Flaky Sea Salt
Directions

- Pour the blitzed tomatoes in to the pan with the tomato purée and the salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve with Greek, Turkish or Lebanese charcoal grilled meats. Or as a dip.
Notes
- You can use any type of red chilli for this recipe. The heat will be determined by which chilli you use.
- For a much milder sauce, remove the chilli seeds and pith.
