Shashlik ketchup
1 serving
15 minutes
Shashlik ketchup is a fragrant and flavorful condiment specially made for grilled meat dishes. This sauce combines the sweetness of ripe tomatoes, the spiciness of tomato paste, and the depth of spices like sumac and a blend of ground peppers. The slight acidity of red wine vinegar enhances the richness of flavor, while fresh greens—arugula and watercress—add liveliness and freshness to the sauce. Sautéed leeks and garlic add a spicy note, making the ketchup a versatile addition to shashliks and other grilled dishes. It can be used as a marinade or serving sauce, turning every meal into a true gastronomic delight. The secret to its taste lies in the combination of natural ingredients and proper preparation that reveals all the depth and richness of flavor nuances.
