CHARMOULA



Charmoula image

Seasoned with fresh mint, chiles and toasted spices, this piquant North African sauce is commonly paired with fish or chicken, either as a marinade or sauce. The preserved lemon adds a haunting flavor to the mix. But it's just as traditional to leave it out, which makes the sauce slightly less pungent.

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 15m

Yield About 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1 packed cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves and stems
1 packed cup roughly chopped parsley leaves and stems
1/2 packed cup roughly chopped mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 red chile, such as Fresno, seeded and diced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), more to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons minced preserved lemon (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small, dry skillet, toast cumin and coriander seeds over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until seeds are slightly toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour spices onto a cutting board or mortar to stop the cooking. Once cool, crack spices with the flat side of a knife or with a pestle.
  • Place cumin seeds, coriander seeds, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine. Add herbs and sweet paprika, and purée until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container when necessary. Add chile and, with the motor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Stir in salt and preserved lemon, if using. Taste, and add more salt and lemon juice if needed.
  • Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Use as a marinade or sauce for fish, chicken, vegetables or meat, or as a dressing for roasted peppers and eggplant salads. Mix into yogurt as a dip for vegetables and meatballs, or spoon over hard-cooked eggs.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest haddock you can find. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Make sure to score the haddock before cooking. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
  • Use a good quality charmoula sauce. You can either make your own or use a store-bought variety.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the haddock. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the haddock immediately after cooking. This will ensure that it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Haddock in charmoula sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your haddock is cooked perfectly.
