Charmoula

Don’t ya love that name. This is a Moroccan all purpose salsa used for marinades or as a finish to my favorite, Moroccan Fish Stew.

It should be used almost immediately after preparation. If not the spices seem to go limp. If used for a marinade it will be fine for a few days.

I use it as a marinade for chicken over couscous or for ANYTHING over couscous !

Combine the following:

  • 6 large cloves garlic
    1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    Juice of 2 lemons
    1 small to medium onion, coarsely chopped
    1-2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro with some stems
    1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley with stems
    1 1/2  tablespoons sweet paprika
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
