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.
