Chermoula (pronounced cher-MOO-lah) is a marinade and sauce popular throughout northern Africa, especially in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. It is traditionally composed of fresh green herbs (often cilantro) that are pounded into a paste along with preserved lemons, olive oil, garlic, salt and a wide variety of dried spices. The exact combination and proportions of ingredients vary by region, but in general the flavor calls to mind a strong, herb-forward pesto or chimichurri sauce, seasoned with African spices and heightened with the bright, acidic notes of preserved lemon. Traditional chermoula is often used as a marinade for fish and meat before grilling or roasting, but it is also frequently served as a condiment for cooked foods.
