About Hummus with zhug
Hummus with Zhug combines the creamy richness of traditional Middle Eastern hummus with the bold, spicy kick of Yemeni zhug sauce. Hummus is made primarily from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, offering a nutritious blend of plant-based protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. Zhug, a vibrant green condiment, typically contains fresh cilantro, parsley, hot chili peppers, garlic, cardamom, and olive oil. Together, they create a flavorful dish that’s perfect for dipping, spreading, or pairing with vegetables and whole-grain bread. While hummus is relatively low in saturated fat and provides essential nutrients, zhug adds a spiciness that may boost metabolism and immune health due to its antioxidant-rich herbs and chili peppers. However, individuals should enjoy these in moderation if sensitive to spice or mindful of calorie intake from olive oil. This fusion highlights the culinary traditions of the Middle East and Yemen with a balance of flavor and nutrition.
