A Yemeni recipe for hot chili pepper sauce or relish with lots of coriander. This is an easy relish recipe using hot green chili peppers.

This recipe is for Yemeni green "skhug", or hot sauces, it is added to almost everything, actually to everything, including falafel and shawama, but outside of the Israeli community it would probably be called relish or chili sauce, but it is a condiment not to be eaten in spoonfuls! It is the best hot chili relish you will ever taste! An easy recipe as you basically throw everything into a blender and press start.

 You can vary the level of hotness, by using only green chilies or adding more and more red chilies. I suggest making it with green chilies only in the beginning, and then work up your courage! It really is easy to make so give it a try, if you like it hot and spicy you won't be disappointed! The not-so-secret ingredient which gives it all it's flavor is the coriander.

Ingredients:

A whole head/bulb of garlic peeled but no need to crush or cut.

3 large handfuls or bags of fresh coriander/Cilantro

 Approximately 10 green chili peppers, for the next level of hotness add 2 hot red chili peppers. I'm referring to fresh peppers not dried.

Approximately 1/2 cup water.

1/2 tsp salt.

Method:

Basically you dump it all in a blender and mix it all up until it is an almost smooth consistency. However either it's my blender that’s buggered or you have to add all the ingredients slowly and blend them in batches.

Once you are done you will have enough to last you for a few weeks so separate it into a few small containers and freeze.
