In the Middle East it is the hot sauce condiment offered to spice things up. This versatile sauce can be added to dishes to brighten, spice and add a punch of flavor to whatever you are cooking. I\u2019ve made larger batches with more oil and used it to marinade grilled chicken, tossed a teaspoon into a swiss chard saute, or as pictured, used it to make a spicy Zhoug Egg Salad. Ultimately it is meant to be a powerful and spicy sauce where a little goes a long way. Given that chilies can vary in spice you can use more or less than the suggested amount depending on what level of spice you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-235\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-33963\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"bd7b8d15ff\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_33963_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(33963, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.7, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
