Schug - Yemeni Hot Green Sauce

Although this spicy green sauce was invented in Yemen ages ago, it is popular throughout the Middle East, especially in Israel where it is served on pretty much anything and especially popular on falafel pita sandwiches. Like its cousin chimichurri, it's perfect on everything grilled. It can even do wonders enlivening a plate of eggs.
