Chermoula recipe

Created by The Tesco Recipes team
A North African marinade, chermoula is made with fresh herbs, warm spices, garlic and lemon. It’s particularly delicious with fish, but also great with chicken, meat and veg. The herbs add plenty of flavour as well as creating that vivid green colour. Short on time? Skip the marinating and use the chermoula as a dressing instead.
