I omitted the sauce recipe. Sorry about that.
Here it is!
Chermoula - 3.8g Carbs, 1.4g Fiber, 0.7g Sugar
This pungent Moroccan herb sauce is traditionally served with grilled fish. It's also great with roasted vegetables, lamb, or chicken. It's best served fresh, but you can put in a jar, pour a film of olive oil over the top, and refrigerate it for a few days.
Makes: approximately 1 cup
2 cups cilantro leaves (2 large bunches)
1 1/2 cups parsley leaves (1 large bunch)
3 to 4 garlic cloves (to taste), halved, green shoots removed
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 tsp cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp coriander seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1/8 tsp cayenne (more to taste)
1/3 to 1/2 cup organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil, to taste
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Coarsely chop the cilantro and parsley, then chop very fine in a food processor or on a cutting board to produce 1 cup finely chopped herbs.
Place the garlic and salt in a mortar and puree. Add a small handful of the chopped herbs, and gently but firmly grind until the herbs begin to dissolve.
Add another handful. When all of the herbs have been mashed, work in the spices, 1/3 cup olive oil and lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more olive oil or salt if desired.
Serve with grilled fish and/or vegetables, or with chicken.
