Why You'll Love Our Chermoula Seasoning:
Authentic Taste: Crafted to mimic the traditional fresh Chermoula recipes used in Morocco and Algeria.
Incredibly Versatile: Goes far beyond fish! Use it as a marinade for chicken, a dressing for roasted vegetables, or a flavour booster
How to Use Your Chermoula Seasoning:
The Classic Marinade: Mix 3 tablespoons of Chermoula seasoning with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of half a lemon. Coat firm fish fillets (like snapper or tarakihi), prawns, or chicken thighs and marinate for 30 minutes before grilling or baking.
Roasted Vegetable Heaven: Toss carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, or pumpkin in a light coating of oil, then sprinkle generously with the dry Chermoula seasoning. Roast until tender and golden.
Flavourful Dips & Dressings: Stir a spoonful into Greek yoghurt or sour cream for a quick, flavourful dip. Or, whisk with olive oil and lemon juice to make a stunning salad dressing.
Spice Up Grains: Stir a teaspoon through cooked couscous, quinoa, or rice for an instant flavour upgrade.
