How to Make Egyptian Apricot Sauce For Kofta
- Soak 1 cup dried apricots in 1 cup warm water for at least 2 hours, or until soft. (If using soft Turkish apricots, skip this step or reduce soaking time).
- Drain the apricots, reserving about ¼ cup of the soaking liquid.
- Combine the drained apricots, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor. Process until a coarse paste forms.
- With the food processor running, gradually add 1 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian version) and the reserved soaking liquid. Process until completely smooth.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the apricot mixture to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes.
- Serve warm over your favorite kofta, grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
