MAHI MAHI WITH ZHOUG & CHICKPEAS

Zhoug. Sounds like one of those cartoon exclamations. Zounds! Gazooks! Rattattattat! I am sure they have cartoons in Yemen. Maybe they use this word in Yemeni broadcasts of Yogi Bear. They also use it in Yemeni kitchens, where it is the name of a popular mix of leaves (usually coriander), cumin, pepper, garlic, oil and water amongst other things. I suck with a Middle Eastern theme, mixing chickpeas with tomato, preserved lemon, oil and lemon juice. Mahi mahi are moving along the coast at the moment and I bought this from a local fisherman at the weekly markets.
