This Moroccan Recipe for Chermoula Sauce is Light, Healthy, Easy and Quick!
The Moroccan recipe for Chermoula sauce offers bright flavors for grilled seafood and poultry. Resplendent in lemon, cumin and cilantro this is a quick and easy sauce. I have used this sauce most frequently for seafood, but it is equally as good on chicken. My favorites are Wahoo, Ono, Mahi Mahi, Albacore Tuna and shrimp. In traditional Moroccan cooking and according to the traditional recipe, the fish is simmered, so this is adapted for our uses.
½ tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
½ teaspoon red chile flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup cilantro chopped
1 tablespoon parsley Italian chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
