Green Chili Zhoug

By JimMac

This recipe for zhoug (pronounced “skoog”), from James Beard Award-winning Chef Alon Shaya of Shaya and Domenica in New Orleans, is a fiery Yemenite condiment that’s a must-have on Israeli tables. Herby and spicy, it adds a welcome dash of bright green flavor to all manner of dishes and it’s as at home on your favorite tacos as it is on the beloved Israeli dish, shakshuka.
