Notes

Recipe Notes
-
Adjust the Spice Level:
The base Pharaoh Sauce is mildly spicy, but you can easily increase the heat by adding 1–2 teaspoons of Pharaoh’s Revenge Hot Sauce. For a smoky flavor, mix in a pinch of smoked paprika or roasted chili paste. -
Make It Creamier:
If you prefer a richer and thicker kebab sauce, replace half of the Greek yogurt with sour cream or add 1 tablespoon of mayo for a smoother texture. -
Best Pairings:
This sauce tastes incredible with grilled chicken kebabs, lamb skewers, shawarma, pita wraps, fries, roasted veggies, and falafel. It also works as a flavorful marinade before grilling. -
Flavor Boost Tips:
For a deeper Middle Eastern flavor, add a tiny pinch of cumin, sumac, or za’atar. These spices enhance the tanginess and earthiness of the sauce. -
Rest Time Matters:
Letting the sauce rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes helps the garlic, lemon, and spices blend together, giving a more balanced and delicious flavor. -
Vegan Option:
Replace Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and skip the tahini or use vegan tahini. The taste remains creamy and flavorful. -
Thickness Adjustments:
If the sauce becomes too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons of water or lemon juice. If it becomes thin, mix in a little more yogurt. -
Storage Tip:
Store this sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. Always stir before using. Avoid freezing, as yogurt tends to separate after thawing.
