Isn't this very similar to Stroganoff? Another great liquor for tomato sauce iss is Pastis/Sambuca or yeni raki. The anis flavour plays really well with tomato. Add some prawns in there to if you like.

No, Stroganoff has sour cream in it and is usually based on beef stock, and it usually has mushrooms in it and isn't tomato-based. The flavor is completely different.

Youre right, I've been lied to all my life cause a restaurant we frequented when I was younger served beef stroganoff and it definitely had tomato in it.

Maybe paprikash? Similar to a stroganoff but with tomato (and paprika).

Makes sense if it's paprikash, that has the sour cream and red color from the paprika and some versions have tomatoes, so it seems like a good comparison point. Not vodka sauce, though! I will say, I think your sauce looks absolutely lovely.

Beats drinking Raki. Still have a bottle from Türkiye from our honeymoon over ten years ago. Ha!
