Time to clear out the freezer a bit. Made a quick Zhug, inspired by a hankerin' for shawarma and this post http://thehotpepper.com/topic/3916-skhug/
Ingredients:
-A dozen or so assorted chilis. I used some large thick cayenne, bishops crown, and some mystery chinenses for a mix of hot and not so hot.
-Big fistful of cilantro
-One head of garlic
-1 Tbsp Cumin seeds
-A hearty pour of extra virgin olive oil
-One lemon, juiced
-Salt and pepper to taste
Half and de-seed
Mix and blend with other ingredients
Not bad.
Was hoping it would turn out a bit more of a brick-red like the stuff from shawarma places, but it tastes pretty good.
