Steps:
- Combine coriander seed, cumin, black pepper, and cardamom seeds (if using) in a mortar and pestle and grind into a powder using a firm, circular motion. Add garlic, chiles, and salt and pound into a rough paste. Add cilantro and parsley one small handful at a time and continue pounding into a rough paste. (By the time you're done, there should be no pieces of chiles or herbs larger than 1/8 inch remaining.) Pounding constantly, slowly drizzle in olive oil to form an emulsion. Season to taste with more salt. Zhug can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several weeks.

ZCHUG - YEMENITE HOT SALSA
This is a hot salsa that the Yemenite Jews eat with everything. My neighbor always makes tons of it to distribute to all her married children each week (I sometimes wish I were one of them).

CAUTION: EXTREMELY HOT! SALSA
This is not for the faint of heart! It is very spicy, so if you don't like it extremely hot, I wouldn't recommend you try this!

Steps:
- Put peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro and cumin in a food processor, and process until finely minced, but not a paste.
- Or, if you're mincing the peppers by hand-be SURE to wear rubber gloves, as the oil from the peppers is very irritating to skin and eyes.
- Add seasonings, vinegar, olive oil and water and mix well.
- Store in a glass container with a tight fitting lid (I use the larger size of baby food jars).
- Stores well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
- Serve on chips, eggs, grilled chicken, in burritos, on tacos, mixed into rice or beans, anything you can think of!
MY HOMEMADE (HOT) SALSA
This salsa is similar to one at the local restaurant we used to frequent when we lived in Georgia. I went home and experimented to try to come up with one that tasted like the restaurant's and this is what I came up with. If you like your salsa even hotter you can adjust the hot seasonings to your taste. I always get lots of compliments when I serve this. Don't let all the ingredients scare you off...it's really easy to make. No accurate time on prep and actually the longer you let it simmer the better it is. I don't know how many exact servings you get but it does make alot. (The flavor will be more intense if you use the fresh herbs but its just as tasty with the dried)
