So what is Zhoug? OK, try to imagine a pesto on steroids. It's a green mash of hot, herby, spicy goodness which is very popular in Israel and now Cornwall.

Being versitile, it is great with salads, on pittas, with falafel - you name it Zhoug is your fellow. It shouldn't be too finely blizted but quite coarse. And it is supposed to be seriously hot!

Method

​​

Simply drop all your ingredients into a food processor or blender and pulse it a few times to get a lovely coarse paste. This will then keep in the fridge for about a month. Simple.
