A chile paste with a hint of sweet spice, zhough can be spread on pita breads, or stirred into vegetable stews, soups and sauces. It's especially delicious with grilled sweet potatoes. You can use different green chiles -- jalapenos, serranos, anaheims, poblanos or perhaps others that grows in your area. Fresh red chiles, which you may come across in your farmers' market and in the grocery store on occasion, can also be used; their flavor is deeper, richer, and also sweeter.
