做法

分步操作

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.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示： Wear gloves when handling green chilies to prevent skin irritation, and avoid touching your eyes.
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.
约 3分钟
烹饪提示： Toasting spices enhances their essential oils, deepening their flavor. Watch them carefully to prevent burning.
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.
烹饪提示： 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
Pulse the mixture in short bursts until it forms a coarse, textured paste.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示： Avoid over-processing at this stage; you want some texture before adding liquids.
5
Add the olive oil and fresh lemon juice to the food processor.
烹饪提示： Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides the best brightness and acidity to balance the heat.
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.
约 3分钟
烹饪提示： 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
Carefully transfer the finished zhug to a clean, airtight glass jar or container.
烹饪提示： A rubber spatula works well to scrape all the zhug from the food processor bowl.
8
Seal the container and refrigerate the zhug for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
约 30分钟
烹饪提示： The flavors will intensify and harmonize beautifully after resting, making the zhug even more delicious.

妥善保存

烹饪提示：

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.

储存

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.

重新加热

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