Shatta Green Chile Sauce

Shatta is a staple Middle Eastern chile paste typically made with red chiles, lemon juice, and olive oil. This version, from Kama in Jordan, uses vibrant green chiles and hand-picked, dried thyme leaves. It’s chunky, bright, and herbaceous, with a bold heat that kicks in fast. The spice is intense but so flavorful that each bite leaves you eager for more.

Spoon it over hummus, pair with grilled meats or falafel, or loosen with olive oil for a versatile, flavor-packed sauce for sandwiches or roasted veggies.
