Utensils

Step 1
Remove the leaves from the coriander and parsley and add to the bowl of the food processor. You can add a few small stems but no big ones!
-
Step 2
De-seed the green chillies, saving the seeds if you’d like a spicier sauce, then roughly chop. Add to the food processor bowl along with the remaining ingredients.
-
Step 3
Run the CHOP programme a couple of times, scraping down the sides in between then select LOW and blend until everything is finely chopped and incorporated.
-
Step 4
Transfer to a serving dish and cover with cling film. Refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavours develop then sprinkle some chill flakes on top and serve.
Notes:
Zhoug can be stored in an airtight container within the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
For a spicier zhoug add reserved chilli seeds that were removed.
