Skhug

Skhug

Skhug, (Hebrew: סחוג) also spelled zhug, is a Yemenite hot sauce popular in Middle Eastern cuisine and called in Yemen Sahaweg (سحاوق in arabic)

Skhug is made from ground fresh hot peppers seasoned with coriander, garlic and various spices. "Skhug adom" (red skhug) is made with red peppers and "skhug yarok" (green skhug) from green peppers. "Skhug chum" (brown skhug) is "skhug yarok" with tomatoes. It is possible to make skhug that is less spicy by adding more coriander and tomatoes to the mix. Another popular type of skhug found in Israel is "skhug Temani" (Yemenite skhug), which is green and spicy.

In Israel, skhug is sometimes referred to as kharif (lit.: spicy). It is a popular condiment at Israeli felafel and schwarma stands.

Traditionally, skhug is ground by hand with a mortar and pestle. Each ingredient is ground separately by hand, mixed together and ground again. Temani skhug is made using green chilies and cilantro/fresh coriander. It is a common staple of Temani (Yemenite Jewish) cuisine.
