Instructions

Blanch the tomatoes for one minute, then peel them and grate them on a large grater to collect the pulp.
Crush the garlic with the salt in a mortar until you get a smooth paste.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic and fry for 1 minute without burning it.
Pour in the tomato pulp, the tomato paste, the pepper and the chili, then simmer over low heat for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring regularly.
The radhkha is ready when the sauce is thick, glossy and the oil rises to the surface around the pulp.
Let it cool slightly before serving on toasted bread or alongside fish and eggs.
