The article will be about a key recipe in most of the Egyptian cuisine” the cooked and seasoned tomato sauce”. The majority of the food in Egypt has this sauce, but, sometimes everyone could add or do it a bit differently. 

The main aspect about my sauce is the storage part. I, usually, make this sauce for more than one meal. I distribute the sauce in more than one bag or container as per your preference.

For this and more, you can choose to make and store the sauce when the prices are convenient with you.
