Quick Spiced and Herby Chicken

Fresh and herby, zhoug style paste (pronounced zoog) is typically found in Yemen and Middle Eastern countries. This versatile paste contains herbs and spices such as coriander, cumin and green jalapeno chillies, making it the perfect match for mixing into grains such as couscous and bulgur wheat.
