Chef's Notes
Do not rush the resting period on the counter! That single hour allows the raw garlic and fresh herbs to marry with the warm spices into a harmonious masterpiece.
Pro Tip
Wear disposable kitchen gloves when handling the jalapeños unless you want your fingers to remember the spice for the next forty-eight hours.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Pureeing the mixture on high speed until it resembles a smooth baby-food paste, completely stripping away the rustic bite that makes a real Zhoug legendary.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Royal Jester claims that this sauce is the only thing capable of making the King’s dry, overcooked poultry taste like it wasn't prepared by a courtier with a vendetta.
The Culinary Science
Olive oil acts as a hydrophobic barrier when poured on top of the finished sauce, preventing oxidation and keeping the chlorophyll in the cilantro and parsley from turning a dull, sad brown.
