Homemade spicy ketchup is a true embodiment of Italian passion for vibrant flavors. Its origins trace back to Mediterranean culinary traditions where juicy tomatoes and aromatic spices create unique sauces. This version stands out with its rich spiciness thanks to chili sauce, sumac, and garlic. The taste is rich and sharp with a slight tang from wine vinegar and sweet notes of tomato paste. It pairs wonderfully with meat, vegetables, pasta, and even snacks, adding brightness to any dish. Ideal for spice lovers who appreciate depth of flavor. It can be served as a barbecue sauce, a dressing for burgers or a zesty addition to baked dishes. Its aroma whets the appetite while its intense flavor makes it indispensable in home gastronomy.
