Mums Algerienne Spicy Sauce DZ 950ml

Algerian sauce (Sauce Algérienne) is a zesty, spicy, and aromatic condiment with a rich, creamy base (typically mayonnaise or a similar emulsion) enhanced with mustard, shallots, vinegar, black pepper, and chili pepper or harissa for heat. Some variations include tomato/tomato sauce, anchovies, capers, and other spices, adding depth and umami.

Key Flavor Profile:

• Creamy & Tangy (from mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar)

• Spicy & Smoky (from harissa or chili peppers)

• Savory & Umami (from optional additions like anchovies, capers, or spices)

• Slightly Sweet & Herbaceous (if tomato or herbs are included)

Why the Name?

Despite its name, Algerian sauce was invented in Belgium (likely by a Moroccan immigrant inspired by North African flavors). It reflects the bold, spicy, and aromatic qualities of Maghrebi cuisine but isn’t a traditional Algerian recipe.

Common Uses:

• Dipping sauce for fries, grilled meats, or kebabs

• Sandwich spread (like a spicier mayo)

• Marinade or dressing for salads
