Any kind of flatbread or crusty roll is perfect with this Moroccan concoction. You could also use the dip as a salad dressing or sauce for fish.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons minced anchovies
2 tablespoons minced cornichons
2 tablespoons harissa paste
Peel from 1 preserved lemon, rinsed, minced (about 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk first 8 ingredients in large bowl. Gradually whisk in both oils. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks. Rewhisk before serving.
  • Harissa paste, a spicy North African red chili paste, is sold at some supermarkets and Middle Eastern markets. If unavailable, substitute hot Thai-style chili sauce, such as Sriracha. Jars of preserves (brine-cured) lemons can be found at many specialty foods stores. If unavailable, substitute a mixture of 1/4 cup grated lemon peel, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon salt (let stand at room temperature for an hour before using).

This is such a tasty sauce! It's our favorite way to flavor baked salmon; the spices are wonderful and complex, and the yogurt makes the fish butter-tender! I always double this if I'm just cooking for the two of us, and save half for use as a dip with raw vegetables or grainy artisan crackers.
