[Fetzel]

Does anyone know a recipe for the spicy sauce that they serve in Israeli pizza stores to pour on or dip the pizza into? TIA

Chill time: 1 hour

Yields: 8 servings

Ingredients:

1 can (20 oz.) whole tomatoes, drained; or 5 tomatoes, quartered

1/4 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup oil

1 Tbsp. chopped garlic

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. cumin

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. cayenne pepper or to taste

4 jalapeño hot pepper rings (from jar)

quartered pita breads (optional)

Note. “Charif” is the Hebrew word for “sharp”—and boy, does this recipe have a kick! It’s not for the faint of heart. But that’s the beauty of preparing a dish like this from scratch. You can make it mild or burning hot.
