Chermoula

Chermoula is a North African marinate, but I use to  slather my meats.

As many of you know I love the warm flavors of North Africa and often rub a pork chop or chicken with olive oil and berber and then slather this chermoula  over the meat just before serving.

It is very similar to salsa verde of Italy

It keeps for a week in the fridge and freezes very well.

6 teaspoons cumin seeds toasted

3 teaspoons coriander seeds toasted

3 teaspoons peppercorns

2 teaspoons chili flakes

6 cloves of garlic

2 cups grated onion

3 tablespoons fresh grated ginger

3 teaspoons turmeric

6 teaspoons paprika

zest of 2 lemons

½ cup of chopped cilantro

In a spice grinder, ground the cumin, coriander, peppercorns and chili flakes.

In a  food processor add all of the ingredients and blend.
