Zhuk/Zhug/Skhug

[xdosequisx]

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.

Interesting recipe and results!  Sort of like a chimi churri only with peppers.  I think it would be nice spread on crackers with some sharp cheddar.  Nice post
