Zhug Spicy Garlic Spread

I found this on line yet to try! A spicy yemenite condiment,(pronounced zzzz-hoog, one syllable) good for soups, stews, or spread on toast when your mil comes to visit. Also very nice stirred into chicken soup when you have a bad sinus cold. This version is from claudia roden's new book of middle eastern food (penguin, 1985).

Steps

Grind and blend all ingredients into a paste.
Keeps for quite a while in a tightly closed jar with a layer of oil spread over the top.

Ingredients

black pepper, caraway seed, cardamom pods, dried hot peppers, bulb of garlic, coriander leaves, salt
