Method

Preparation of Spices

  1. 1

    Toast the Spices

    In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, and black peppercorns until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Blend the Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine and Blend

    In a food processor, combine the toasted spices, fresh cilantro, parsley, green chili peppers, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until a smooth paste forms. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Final Adjustments

  1. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the schug and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if necessary. Blend again until well combined.

  2. 4

    Store

    Transfer the schug to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
