For many years, we've been huge fans of Zhoug, a spicy condiment/sauce originating from Yemen. Since making our first batch & being amazed at the sheer volume of chillies needed, we've been hooked on its spicy, fresh 'green' kick.
Think of a Middle Eastern version of a salsa verde or chimichurri & you're on the right track of where this spicy coriander/green chilli sauce fits. So we were obviously very pleased with ourselves when we finally cracked the recipe for a dry blend, meaning we can share the Zhoug love far & wide!
The basic method of creating this sauce is so simple:
- 1 Tbsp of Zhoug spice
- 2 Tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil (or your favourite)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Stir everything together & leave for 2+ hours to rehydrate, then drizzle on anything as you serve.
You can tweak this basic recipe according to taste. For more of a vinaigrette, perfect for Summer salads, mixed grains, quinoa or cous cous, use cider or red wine vinegar instead of lemon juice. This version is also good as a marinade for meat as it will begin to tenderise it.
We love it drizzled on kebabs, with flatbreads, falafel, tofu, halloumi or even as a dip in a mezze feast. Pop any leftover sauce in the fridge & it'll be alright for a few days. Stir a dollop into Greek yoghurt or creamy hummus & you'll get an amazing combo of cooling & fiery flavours!
It's equally at home as a rub, although you'll need to use it sparingly. Add 1 tsp to oil for a marinade & rub over lamb or chicken before roasting. Add a pinch to stir fries, pesto, roast veg & thick soups - you'll find yourself cooking things specifically you can drizzle with Zhoug!
Like so many in our range, this is another that’s sugar-free, gluten-free, paleo and vegan too. With no fillers or anything artificial, our unique blend of herbs and spice create the purest, freshest flavour possible to give your food attitude. This makes it 'free' on all the slimming plans we know of!
