How to Make

  • Step 2: Add the salt, spices, lemon juice, oil, and water and process to a coarse puree, running the machine in short bursts.

  • Step 3: Correct the seasoning, adding salt and/or lemon juice; the charmoula should be highly seasoned. Like most sauces made with fresh herbs, charmoula tastes best served within a few hours of making.
