Yemenite Hot Sauce (Z'hug)

We went to a Middle Eastern deli at Woodstock, IL for my birthday.The name of the place is called "Expressly Leslie". It's actually more of a Middle Eastern vegetarian deli. We had some really good Middle Eastern salads like Baba Ganoush, cucumber salad, beet salad, Tabouleh (cracked wheat salad), Jerusalem Salad with Matboukha (Moroccan salsa), Moroccan carrot salad, Dill Potato Salad, Red Cabbage Slaw, Spicy Green Olive Salad and Sweet Pepper Salad. We also had Hummus and Pita, Falafel and Zhug hot sauce. The Zhug hot sauce is one of the tastiest hot sauce out there. It is a blend of garlic, cilantro, serrano pepper and/or jalapeno pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt and olive oil to cover. It is great with chicken and pork, on hamburgers (minus the ketchup, mayo, mustard sauce) or just on anything.
