作り方

手順

  1. 1

    Measure out all ingredients and prepare them for processing: roughly chop the green chilies, cilantro, and parsley; peel the garlic cloves; and remove seeds from cardamom pods if using whole pods.

    約5 分

    調理のヒント: Wear gloves when handling green chilies to prevent skin irritation, and avoid touching your eyes.

  2. 2

    Lightly toast the cumin seeds and coriander seeds in a small, dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly.

    約3 分

    調理のヒント: Toasting spices enhances their essential oils, deepening their flavor. Watch them carefully to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Combine the prepared green chilies, cilantro, parsley, garlic cloves, toasted cumin seeds, toasted coriander seeds, cardamom seeds (if using), black pepper, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.

    調理のヒント: For a milder zhug, remove the seeds and membranes from some or all of the green chilies before adding them to the food processor.

  4. 4

    Pulse the mixture in short bursts until it forms a coarse, textured paste.

    約1 分

    調理のヒント: Avoid over-processing at this stage; you want some texture before adding liquids.

  5. 5

    Add the olive oil and fresh lemon juice to the food processor.

    調理のヒント: Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides the best brightness and acidity to balance the heat.

  6. 6

    Continue to pulse and blend the mixture until the zhug reaches your desired consistency, from a slightly chunky sauce to a smoother puree. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is preferred.

    約3 分

    調理のヒント: Blend in short bursts and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even processing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  7. 7

    Carefully transfer the finished zhug to a clean, airtight glass jar or container.

    調理のヒント: A rubber spatula works well to scrape all the zhug from the food processor bowl.

  8. 8

    Seal the container and refrigerate the zhug for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.

    約30 分

    調理のヒント: The flavors will intensify and harmonize beautifully after resting, making the zhug even more delicious.

おいしく保存

調理のヒント:

Zhug is incredibly versatile! Serve it alongside grilled meats, falafel, hummus, or shakshuka. It also makes a fantastic addition to sandwiches, wraps, or as a spicy kick to scrambled eggs. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or a tiny bit of fresh ginger to the mix.

保存方法

Store the zhug in a clean, airtight glass jar in the refrigerator. Ensure the surface is covered with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.

温め直し

Zhug is typically served cold or at room temperature. No reheating is required.
