Shatta Sauce (Middle Eastern Chilli Sauce)
Report
My Authentic Levantine Shatta Sauce is an amazing Middle Eastern chilli sauce/paste. This lightly fermented mixture has an abundance of flavour and spice and the best condiment to serve with labneh, eggs, grilled or roasted meats and wraps.

Ingredients
- 300 g red chilli either red or green, don't mix the two, or green chilli
- 9 g salt sea salt
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
Instructions
- Chop the chillies into slices, discard the stems but keep the seeds (unless you want to reduce the heat - in which case remove the seeds).
- Place into a bowl and cover with the salt. Massage the chillies using your hands to coat well. Wear gloves if you like to protect your hands from spicy chillies.
- Tip the chillies and any juices into steralised mason jars and seal. Place on the worktop, somewhere cool and out of the way for three days to begin the lacto-fermentation process.
- Each day, unseal the jar and then reseal to let out any excess gasses.
- After three days, drain a little of the juices away and then tip the chillies into a jug or food processor. Using an immersion blender or food processor, pulse blend the chillies into a rustic, chunky sauce.
- Stir in the olive oil and vinegar and then return to the jar. Seal and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks. If you pour over additional olive oil to cover the surface you can extend the shelf life to around 6 weeks.
Notes
- The magic salt ratio.
- If you want to adjust the amount of chillies you use, use the formua of 3% salt to chilli. Therefore multiply the weight of the chillies in g by 0.03 for the weight of salt needed.
