About

This spicy green sauce made from fresh herbs and chillies has its origins in Yemen but is popular across north Africa and the Middle East. Similar in flavour to the Argentinian chimichurri, it is very versatile and can be used as a condiment, garnish or dressing to add heat and a serious punch of flavour.
