Shatta (Red or Green) Middle Eastern Chile Paste
Report
Middle Eastern shatta is a paste of blended chiles, lemon, and vinegar. It’s a hot, refreshing condiment that lasts months in the fridge.

Ingredients
- 8 oz red or green chilis (See Note 1)
- 1 tbsp kosher salt (a non-iodized salt)
- 3 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- olive oil to cover
Instructions
- Trim stems from chiles and slice each pepper into thin rings, seeds included.
- Place chiles and salt in a clean sterilized jar and close lid. Turn the jar, tossing chiles to coat in salt. Refrigerate 3 days.
- Drain chiles and add to a food processor with vinegar and lemon juice. Process until smooth or leave a little chunky. Scrape back into same jar, top with enough olive oil to cover the top and seal. Keep refrigerated for up to 6 months.
- Perfect spicy condiment to be used on any grilled meat, fish and vegetables. Great with labneh and pitas, too.
Notes
- Adapted from Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley's cookbook Falastin.
- This can be made with either green or red jalapeños. I have made it with red fresno chiles and also all serranos as well for an even fiery blend. I do not recommend mixing the red and green peppers to blend as they turn the sauce a murky, unappetizing brown.
