chermoula: chermoula, charmoula
ingredients: cumin, coriander, garlic, onion, parsley, coriander leaf, salt, cayenne, black pepper
   

Chermoula is a Moroccan mix useful to marinade and season fish, chicken, even vegetables or to make a dressing. The flavour is not particularly hot, just very fragrant with the scent of cumin and coriander and a delicious herby flavour of parsley and coriander. Either use the chermoula as a dry seasoning or even better, mix the spices with a squeeze of lemon and a splash of olive oil to make a paste. Rub this chermoula paste over the flesh of whatever you intended to marinade, leave for up to a couple of hours if possible then bake, grill, fry or barbeque. For a dressing made from chermoula add lemon juice to the spices as before but thin out the paste with more olive oil.

uses: marinade for any fish, chicken or pork. Good for a barbeque when you don't want anything too spicy. Mix with yoghurt and use to marinade in a similar way to tikka spices or as a dip.

good with: aubergine, chicken, oily fish, tomato, potato, chickpeas, yoghurt, lemon, prawns
