Charmoula

Moroccan seafood marinade or dipping sauce

• 4 cloves garlic

• 1 tsp. sea salt

• 1 bunch fresh cilantro

• 3 tsp. ground cumin

• 1 TBS paprika

• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper

• 1/2 roasted red pepper (fresh or canned)

• Juice of 1 lime

• 3 TBS olive oil

Peel garlic cloves; smash with the flat edge of a large knife. Sprinkle garlic with sea salt; add to a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, spices and roasted red pepper; pulse to blend but do not process until smooth in order to leave some texture. Place mixture into a bowl; stir in lime juice and olive oil.

 

Suggestions: Use as a marinade for chicken or fish or as a dipping sauce for seafood dishes such as Hut bel Charmoula (Moroccan fried fish).
