Here's our take on zhoug – the spicy Yemeni sauce that certainly packs a flavour punch. Jam packed with fresh herbs, green chilli and lemon, it's ridiculously easy to whizz up in just 5 minutes. Drizzle over veg or salads as a sauce or enjoy as a dip with warmed pitta or whatever you fancy – it's delicious! See method
