Sahawiq (Yemeni Arabic: سَحاوِق, IPA: [saħaːwiq][1]) zhougorzhug (from Judeo-Yemenite Arabic سحوقorזחוק IPA: [zħuːq][2] through Hebrew: סְחוּג, romanizeds'ḥug) is a hot sauce originating in Yemeni cuisine. In other countries of the Arabian Peninsula it is also called mabooj (Arabic: معبوج).[3]

Etymology and pronunciation[edit]

The word sahawiq [saħaːwiq] comes from the Arabic root (s-ḥ-q) which means to pestle or to crush. Formally, it is a plural form.

Varieties[edit]

Varieties in Yemen include sahawiq akhdar (green sahawiq), sahawiq ahmar (red sahawiq), and sahawiq bel-jiben (sahawiq with cheese, usually Yemeni cheese).[4] Sahawiq is one of the main ingredients of saltah.[5] Wazif (traditional Yemeni dried baby sardines) is sometimes added to the sahawiq's ingredients and it is known as sahawiq wazif (Arabic: سحاوق وزف).[6]

In Israel, one can find skhug adom ("red zhug"), skhug yarok ("green zhug") and skhug khum ("brown zhug"), which has added tomatoes.[citation needed] Red zhug is made with red peppers while green zhug is made with green peppers, or jalapeños.[7] Zhug may be referred to by the generic term harif (Hebrew: חריף; lit. "hot/spicy"). Also known as zhoug,[8][9][10] it is a popular condiment at Israeli falafel and shawarma stands, and served with hummus.[11]

Preparation[edit]

Sahawiq is made from fresh red or green hot peppers (like bird's eye chillies or, less traditionally, jalapeños[12]) seasoned with coriander, garlic, salt, black cumin (optional) and parsley, and then mixed with olive oil.[13][14][15] Some also add lemon juice,[12] caraway seed, cardamom, and black pepper.

Traditional Yemeni cooks prepare sahawiq using two stones: a large stone called marha' (مرهى) used as a work surface and a smaller one called wdi (ودي) for crushing the ingredients. Alternative options are a mortar and pestle or a food processor.[16] Yemenis sometimes add Pulicaria jaubertii.[17]
