This vibrant zhoug is a fiery Middle Eastern herb sauce that brings a punchy, aromatic lift to almost any meal. Combining fresh coriander and flat-leaf parsley with a hit of green chilli and warm spices, it offers a complex flavour profile that balances heat with earthy cumin and bright acidity from sherry vinegar. It is a staple of Yemeni cuisine that has become a favourite in modern kitchens for its versatility and bold, emerald-green hue.
As a naturally vegan condiment, this spicy herb sauce is an excellent way to elevate plant-based dishes, from roasted cauliflower to simple grain bowls. It also pairs beautifully with toasted pitta, creamy hummus or grilled proteins. Whether you are meal prepping for the week or looking for a quick dipping sauce, this easy blender recipe is a reliable store-cupboard essential.
