Chermoula is a North African Dip often used as a stuffing in curries too. I got this recipe for Chermoula from Aicha who had made aubergines stuffed with chermoula and they looked so delicious. I made the Chermoula which we really enjoyed as a dip and also used it to stuff aubergines (Recipe to Follow).
What is chermoula?
Chermoula is a relish or a dip used in North African recipes. It’s loved for its spicy and earthy taste which comes from blending fresh herbs. The dip is thick and blends into any dish it’s eaten with or added to. Being typical Gujarati, the chermoula reminds of the Gujarati green chutney.
What is chermoula made of?
I have been told that the exact ingredients vary from place to place but the main ingredients are peppers, chilies, tomato paste, garlic, ginger, coriander, parsley, lemon juice and zest plus spices and the olive oil. Some recipes also use preserved lemons.
Is this dip vegan?
Yes and it’s perfect for adding to any dish!!
