Steps

  1. Begin by placing 3 large tomatoes, 1 medium Romano pepper, and 1 medium green chili into a food processor. Blend until they are finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a sieve set over a bowl and allow it to strain.

In a serving bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of red pepper paste, 1 tablespoon of tomato puree, 2 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses, 1 tablespoon of pul biber, 2 teaspoons of sumac, 1 tablespoon of dried mint, and 60 ml of extra virgin olive oil. Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are well combined to form a sauce.
