What is skhug sauce?

Skhug sauce is a spicy Middle Eastern condiment typically made from a blend of chili peppers, herbs such as cilantro and parsley, garlic, and olive oil. It is a popular sauce in Yemenite cuisine, but variations can also be found in other Middle Eastern countries such as Israel. Skhug can be served as a dip for pita bread or vegetables, as a marinade for grilled meats, or as a topping for falafel or shawarma. The spiciness level can vary depending on the types and amount of chilies used. Skhug is also known as zhug, zhoug, or sahawiq.
