Cook’s Note: If you want to store the zehug, transfer to an airtight container and drizzle more oil to create a layer of oil that seals the zehug to prevent any discoloration. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can alternatively freeze the zehug in small amounts in an ice cube tray and to use one cube at a time.

Preparation
Step 1
Place the cilantro, chili, tomato, garlic, salt and three tablespoons of oil in a medium sized bowl. Mix to combine well into a paste.
