Chermoula Seasoning

Chermoula (pronounced “cher-MOO-lah”) is a marinade and sauce popular throughout northern Africa, especially in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. It is traditionally composed of fresh green herbs (often cilantro) that are pounded into a paste along with preserved lemons, olive oil, garlic, salt and a wide variety of dried spices. The exact combination and proportions of ingredients vary by region, but in general the flavor calls to mind a strong, herb-forward pesto or chimichurri sauce, seasoned with African spices and heightened with the bright, acidic notes of preserved lemon.

Traditional Chermoula is often used as a marinade for fish and meat before grilling or roasting, but it is also frequently served as a condiment for cooked foods.

We’ve recreated the flavor profile of authentic Chermoula in a convenient dry form. Nomad Spice Co. Chermoula Seasoning is a complete combination of herbs, spices and other seasonings including lemon peel and a touch of ground chiles. It’s ready to use as a dry rub, or it can be made into a loose paste with olive oil, white wine vinegar or even just water, creating a refreshing alternative to pesto or chimichurri.
