Steps:
- Toast peppercorns and cumin seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a spice mill or mortar and pestle and pulse or grind until coarsely ground. Place spices in a small bowl and mix in cardamom.
- Pound cilantro in mortar and pestle (or pulse in a food processor) until it's bruised and releases some of its moisture. Mix into spices along with parsley, oil, lemon juice, chiles, and garlic; season generously with salt.
- Chermoula can be made 6 hours ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
CHERMOULA
Chermoula is a North African marinade, used especially for fish. It also makes a great dipping sauce or salad dressing. This recipe has plenty of tang and has been adapted from one by Julie Le Clerc. I use coriander (cilantro) rather than parsley and Lee Kum Kee's Chili Garlic Sauce rather than a small red chili. I like the end product so much that I can eat it with a spoon. Yummo!
