In blender, puree enough chili peppers to measure one cup when done. Puree

The authors write: "Spicy zhoug is a source of pride among the Yemenite
population. Made with the sharpest of chili peppers, it is eaten with
classically oriental Jewish meals.
"More than just a condiment, zhoug is a tradition. Yemenites believe that
daily consumption of zhoug wards off disease and strengthens the heart.
Zhoug can be an addition to salads and a sauce for various kinds of meat,
fish, and poultry dishes."
Caution: While quite hot, this stuff is addictive! It's excellent
slathered on Saltines and accompanied by a cold brewski. I've seen people
go through entire containers of zhoug, which was nicknamed "Truth or Dare"
here to separate the wheat from the chaff as far as heat lovers go.
