Halabi Kebab

== Description ==
Yemenite meat loaf. Zhoug is a source of pride among the Yemenite population. Made with the sharpest of chile peppers, it is eaten with classically oriental Jewish meals. More than just a condiment, it is a tradition. Yemenites believe that daily consumption of zhoug wards off disease and strengthens the heart. It can be an addition to salad, and a sauce for various kinds of meat, and poultry dishes.
