Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 This stuff is fantastic! I am addicted! Leah, shared this recipe with us a few weeks ago. This looked so wonderful that I had to try it. I finally made it today. I'm not sure I had ever used cardamom before...I had to purchase a bottle and let me tell ya, this stuff smells divine (fruity). I actually didn't use any precise measurments but I used all the ingredients and pert near the amounts, eyeing it. I used ground cardamom instead of the pods (found the ground first) and I used a mix of jalps and serranos (abundant down here) for the chiles. This schug has such a refreshing taste with a bite...this will be made over and over by me, no doubt. Yeehaw. I made a big batch of hummus. I took half the hummus and kept incorporating some of the schug until it tasted perfect. I tell ya what, I had only planned on using this as a condiment (it's great with tostada chips) but as Leah noted this will really enhance some entrees. ..love it. Excellent...thanks Leah!! Cheers, Shawn **needing more schug recipes** lol Yemen Schug Hot Green Chili Chutney 1 bunch of fresh coriander, leaves only (about 2 cups) 1 small head of garlic (8 cloves), peeled 1 tablespoon salt 6 ounces fresh hot green chili, seeded 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons ground cuminseed 4 cardamon pods, seeds only, or 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 4 whole cloves, broken up Process all the ingredients to a relatively smooth paste.
