Matbucha reimagined as Saturday Sauce

Sababa Foods Saturday Sauce Slightly Spicy 16 oz jar, front

Saturday Mornings, Middle Eastern Flavor

Saturday Sauce is Amy Dell’s modern name for matbucha, the slow-cooked tomato and pepper condiment found across North African and Middle Eastern tables. In her family, it anchored weekend breakfasts with shakshuka, salatim, and challah. Sababa Foods makes that tradition legible to more cooks by presenting it as a versatile counterpart to Italian-American Sunday sauce—equally at home in stews, marinades, dips, and eggs.

Serving suggestion for Sababa Foods Saturday Sauce Slightly Spicy

Mostly Organic, Slow-Simmered, Olive-Oil Rich

Saturday Sauce is made from crushed tomatoes, garlic, peppers, cumin, and extra virgin olive oil, with selected organic vegetables chosen thoughtfully. Amy spent a year translating the family recipe for consistent production, replacing seed oils and keeping the slow-cooked, jammy texture that distinguishes matbucha. Mild and slightly spicy versions preserve the same layered base while welcoming different heat tolerances.
