-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Zhug:
6 dried chilies -- soaked for at least 1 hour
3 cardamom pods
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 bunch cilantro -- stemmed and washed
1 bulb garlic -- peeled
1 teaspoon salt
Hilbeh: as above but with the following
extras
1 Tablespoon fenugreek seed -- soaked for at least 1 hour
1 Tablespoon tomato paste
Blend the chilies with the spices, cilantro, garlic, and salt until you
obtain a fine paste. Add the fenugreek and tomato paste, if using. That's
it. Store in a small jar in the fridge, and use within 2 weeks. Great as a
dip for bread, or to spice up soups and pasta.
Makes 2 pints (8 cups or 32 one-quarter cup servings)
AuthorNote: If you thought harissa was hot... Zhug is really fiery relish
from Yemen. Why the Yemenis should need it when they live in such a hot
country, I know not - it would make more sense if it was Eskimo food. All
I can say is that they must have asbestos tastebuds: this is apparently
standard breakfast fare over there. Hilbeh is zhug with extra stuff in it
- and they are both really useful for dipping, marinating, and testing the
mettle of your guests.
Silly culinary tip of the day: try mixing a couple of tablespoons of
hilbeh with the same amount of olive oil, and toss a batch of freshly
popped popcorn in it. Great with beer.
