Zhoug (Yemeni Green Chili Sauce)

A fiery, herb-packed Yemeni hot sauce: fresh green chiles, garlic, cilantro and parsley pulsed into a coarse, pesto-like paste with toasted cumin, coriander, black pepper and the signature warmth of cardamom, loosened with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Five minutes in a food processor, and it brightens everything from falafel and shawarma to eggs and grilled fish.
