Chermoula is a delicately balanced spice mix that contains a mouth-watering combination of garlic, cumin, lemon peel, paprika and coriander. The name “Chermoula” comes from the Arabic word “chermel,” which means “to rub” or “to marinate”, indicating the traditional method for using this spice blend as a marinade or rub for fish and seafood.
Known as a fishes best friend, Chermoula is used throughout Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Algeria to rub or marinade freshly caught fish. Throughout Tunisia, it is used during Eid al-Fitr on salted cured fish to mark the end of Ramadan.
The exact origins of this Chermoula spice mix are not known, but it’s clear that the spice mix developed as a result of the blending of culinary traditions in the region with the influences of Berber, Arab, and Mediterranean cultures all contributing to its unique flavour profile.
We think the Chermoula spice blend is great to add to a fish pie or rubbed onto salmon fillets. Also works well with meat and roasted vegetables. You could even mix this with olive oil, lemon juice, or vinegar and create a tangy dressing or dipping sauce for salads, bread and roasted vegetables.
