What's the name of these sauces?
« on: May 17, 2020, 09:04:02 PM »
At Riko I know the green sauce is called aji verde but what is the white sauce called?

At Souk el Shater in Sunnyside I have the opposite. The white sauce is called toum but what is the green sauce called?

If it's spicy, probably jalapeño, parsley, and olive oil hot sauce

Is it Zhoug?

That's what I thought at first but zhoug looks much darker in color.

I would also guess zhoug or a green harissa.
