there should always be something spicy on the table. not to dominate the food, but to wake it up, to cut through the richness, and to remind you that you’re alive.
some people want that to be a searing burn (and to each their own), but, for a lot of us, that something is shatta; a chunky, balanced arabic chili sauce that's packed with umami and a perfect amount of sweet heat that pairs seamlessly with just about any dish.
both hero and sidekick
shawarmaji's is inspired by the kind of shatta that chef mohammad grew up with - a chunkier, richer shatta that brings together the sweetness of red bell pepper, the depth of toum, and the spiciness of habanero and fresno peppers coupled with the subtle tang of pomegranate molasses.
it's a clean, sharp, and direct spicy that's multilayered. the kind of heat that gets into the corners of a dish and lingers, but doesn’t overwhelm.
we like our falafel sandos paired with shatta, and so do most palestinians. it’s doesn't stop there though. spoon it onto your fried eggs, or add it to a classic lentil soup. honestly, a little olive oil and shatta on bread can be a whole breakfast.
these are only a few ways it lives quietly and consistently in kitchens across the arab world. every family has their own way of making shatta. this one’s ours, but it can be a part of your kitchen too.
we make ours in-house, in small batches. because some things don’t need reinventing; they just need preserving.
we hope our products bring a touch of tradition, flavor, and wellness to your table always.
peace, love, and toum,
the shawarmaji family
