Zhoug

Zhoug is a spicy, aromatic condiment originating from the Middle East, particularly Yemen and Israel. It’s made by blending fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley with chili peppers, garlic, spices such as cumin and cardamom, and often some oil and lemon juice. The result is a vibrant, pungent sauce that adds heat and flavor to dishes like grilled meats, bread, or salads. Zhoug is known for its fresh, herbaceous taste combined with fiery heat, making it a versatile and flavorful accompaniment in various cuisines.
