I found this on line yet to try! A Spicy Yemenite condiment,(Pronounced Zzzz-Hoog, One Syllable) good for soups, stews, or spread on toast when your MIL comes to visit. Also very nice stirred into chicken soup when you have a bad sinus cold. This version is from Claudia Roden's New Book of Middle Eastern Food (Penguin, 1985).
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seed
4 cardamom pods
4 strong dried hot peppers (soaked in water 1 hour)
1 whole bulb of garlic (peel)
1 bunch coriander leaves (remove stems)
salt
Directions:
1. Grind and blend all ingredients into a paste.
2. Keeps for quite a while in a tightly closed jar with a layer of oil spread over the top.
