With so many leafy green things growing in the garden and in containers on the back porch, green sauce season is here. Fresh, uncooked green sauces exist in cuisines around the world – pesto, chimichurri, pistou, chermoula, salsa verde (which really describes so many of these herby sauces), and zhoug- a bright, fiery condiment from Yemen that’s made with fresh cilantro, parsley, garlic, chilies and olive oil. Yes, that describes, more or less, many green sauces out there – zhoug also has some cumin, coriander and often cardamom to round it out with floral, earthy flavours. As with its saucy green relatives, it’s amazing on eggs, drizzled over avocado toast, fish, stews and roasted carrots, tossed with potato salad… once you have a jar in the fridge, you’ll start spooning it over everything.
(We talked about zhoug and other green sauces last week on the Eyeopener!)
(This is pesto! Which you can make with baby kale, spinach, fresh basil, even carrot tops and dandelion greens! Add some garlic, Parmesan, pine nuts or walnuts, olive oil, lemon and salt – you can just wing it.)

Does stemmed mean remove seeds as well
If you want to remove some of the heat, seed them as well!
My husband and I decided to enroll in cooking courses. We have been working in Canada for six months now. So we decided why not try something new. That’s why we rented a car at 14CARS.com so that it would be convenient to get to the courses.
