Like I always say, thank G-d for Chanie, my sister-in-law. This classic Israeli salad hails from her table too.
Brought to Israel by Yemenite Jews, schug aka charif, is a fiery spicy hot sauce made from fresh red or green hot peppers. This popular condiment is a staple at falafel and shawarma shops and in our kitchen.

OMG this was so good I didn’t have any schug in the house so I used crushed red pepper. Schug would have been better.
This recipe would qualify Kosher for Passover if you you can either use the crushed red pepper or find schug that doesn’t contain canola oil but possibly olive oil or can make your own. I called a few Israeli friends today in Israel to see what Israeli brand of schug doesn’t utilize canola oil.
so sorry for the late response, I was traveling — you mean the “Yehi Ratzon”? Yes for sure!
can this be used to make the bracha on during the meal
