Yamza Pasta Arrabiata
Meaning ‘angry’ in Italian (thanks Duolingo) this arrabiata will leave you anything but!
MEET YAMZA
Master Chef of GB, Ed McLachlan, was working for the royal family of Abu Dhabi and found himself tinkering away with a new hot sauce recipe. It was a traditional Lebanese-style sauce but Chef Ed, being the alchemist that he is, found himself thinking “What if I swapped out the standard chillies for scotch bonnets – and what if I used fermentation to explode their fruity flavour without making things overwhelmingly hot?”… The name YAMZA! actually comes from the Arabic word “yamzaj”, meaning to blend – because that’s what they’re all about, blending traditional Middle Eastern flavours with ingredients and techniques from around the world to create a totally unique cuisine.
