Yemenite hot sauce (schug)
Description
Schug combines 2-3 fresh jalapeno peppers with diced cilantro, whole garlic cloves, cumin, cardamom, salt, and black pepper. These ingredients are processed in a food processor to create a uniform mash. Olive oil is added generously to ensure the sauce is covered and has a smooth texture. The blend features the heat of jalapenos balanced by fresh herbs and warm spices for complexity.
The sauce is stored refrigerated in a sealed jar where it can keep for several months. It can also be frozen in containers or ice cube trays for convenient portioning and longer storage. Schug is versatile, adding heat and flavor to various dishes including grilled meats, sandwiches, and dips.
