Were huge fans of spicy schugs here. I'm not really into making my food spicy though, since not everyone is into it. But having a spicy addition to food is a must. Or even just to spread on bread!!
I’ve shared a few versions of spicy dips in the past but here is a more mild version mixed with tomato. It gives the schug a much sweeter flavor, although still spicy of course!
8 jalapeño, tops removed
2-3 roma tomatoes
1/4 of a preserved lemon
2 garlic cloves
3/4 cup cilantro leaves, packed
Salt
Olive oil, for serving
DIRECTIONS:
Start by cutting your jalapeños in thirds and set aside. Remove inside part of the tomatoes as well and set aside.
In a high speed blender or food processor, combine cilantro, preserved lemon and garlic then process until mostly fine.
Add tomatoes and jalapenos then process until desired consistency is reached. I like mine still somewhat piecy so i pulse and scrape the sides of the blender a few times.
Salt it at the end. Add olive oil on top and store in the fridge. Always top with olive oil before serving.
*The level of spiciness will depend on the Jalapenos. Some of them are pretty mild while others and HOT.
Enjoy,
Guila
