Daqoos/ دقوس/ Spicy Tomato Sauce originating in the Gulf

So simple, but the way it elevates every Arab rice dish, is hard to explain. I served this with Kabsa & my friends couldn’t stop raving about the sauce more than the actual food :)

🛒Ingredients:
Tomatoes
Coriander
Green chillies (the fat ones)
Garlic
Cumin
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Lemon/Vinegar (I did not add it as I don’t like the tanginess)
Tomato Paste

🍽️ Method
Sauté garlic and chillies in olive oil, add tomato paste and saute further till oil separates. Added blended tomatoes & stir. As colour starts to change, add spices & a little bit of water to then let it simmer on low heat - this will allow all the flavours to meld together. Add lots of chopped coriander in the mixture and let it simmer a little more.

Pour into your serving dish. You can serve it warm, but I prefer to have it at room temperature or cold with a main dish.

Enjoy 🤍
