Filfel chuma is a Libyan hot sauce with a thick consistency. The sauce is made with ingredients such as garlic, bell peppers, cayenne pepper, sweet paprika, cumin, caraway, oil, salt, and lemon juice. Filfel chuma is known to keep well in the fridge when covered with a thin layer of oil, so it is recommended to always have some of this delicious sauce at hand.

It originated in the ancient kitchens of Libyan Jews, and can be paired with anything from rice, beans, and egg dishes to roasted meat or fish dishes.
