Ingredients
1
bunch
fresh cilantro
1
clove
garlic
1-2
hot peppers, your choice, stems removed
1
pinch
salt
1
teaspoon
cumin, smoked if possible
ground
1
teaspoon
coriander
ground
Water or extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Instructions
Add the hot peppers and garlic to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Begin adding the cilantro. If the entire bunch doesn't fit, add some, pulse it down, then continue adding the rest.
Add the salt, cumin, and coriander.
Process until the skhug is somewhere between smooth and grassy—you want it well blended but with a little texture remaining.
If needed, add a small amount of water or extra-virgin olive oil to help everything blend.
Taste and adjust the salt or heat as desired.
