Blender Chermoula Sauce

This vibrant blender chermoula sauce is a staple of North African cuisine, offering a bold and zesty punch of flavour that instantly elevates a variety of dishes. Made with a fragrant blend of toasted cumin and coriander seeds, smoked paprika, and three types of fresh green herbs, it delivers a perfect balance of earthy warmth and citrusy brightness. The addition of extra-virgin olive oil gives it a luxurious, silky finish while ensuring the herbs remain the star of the show.

As a versatile vegan sauce, it works beautifully as a marinade for roasted vegetables, a dressing for grain salads, or a dip for warm flatbreads. It is also an excellent healthy accompaniment to grilled proteins or harissa-roasted cauliflower. Prepare a batch in advance to keep in the fridge for a quick and easy way to add a depth of homemade Mediterranean flavour to your weekday meals.
