Chermoula Sauce and Marinade

[Twitchin Kitten]

This hot, spicy, garlicky mixture is the all purpose, ubiquitous Moroccan sauce for fish. It goes on every kind of fish - fried, grilled, baked and stewed. It's marvelous but I don't recommend it for fish with delicate flavors.
Use half of it to marinate the fish for 1/2 hour before cooking and pour the rest on as a sauce before serving.

Chermoula Sauce and Marinade

Ingredients:

2/3 cup chopped cilantro
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/4 - 1/2 tsp ground chili pepper (optional)
6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon or 3 Tbsp wine vinegar

Blend everything together in a food processor and it's done!

I like to use those new Magic Bullet's for making sauces and marinades quickly. Those things are very handy!
