Buddha's Garden - Zhoug

This locally crafted condiment is quickly becoming everyone's favorite "everything sauce." Herby and a little spicy, here are some of our favorite ways to use it. 

• Mix with mayo or yogurt for a creamy dipping sause
• Mix with olive oil for a green dressing 
• Add it to scrambled eggs for a boost of flavor
• On fish, chicken, of skirt steak! 

From the maker: "Zhoug sauce is a spicy cilantro sauce, traditionally prepared using a large (“marha”) and small stone (“wdi”) to crush the ingredients into a paste. It originates from Yemen but is also consumed in other Middle Eastern countries such as Israel and Syria. Think a punchy chimichurri. Pair with roasted vegetables, meats, seafood, hummus, falafel, and anything you would use chimichurri with. This sauce can be mild to spicy depending on the time of year as the jalapenos change heat level depending on the growing environment."
