Charmoula

Lovely Meal

Charmoula is a fiery chili sauce used in Moroccan dishes.

It is traditionally used with fish, but it also works equally well with chicken - see my Moroccan Chicken Tagine.

4 garlic cloves, crushed 1 heaped teasp saffron powder
2 small red  chillies, seeded and chopped 2 teasp paprika

1 teasp salt  

Put all the ingredients into a blender and whizz until smooth - add a little water if necessary to help the blending. The mixture should be stored in the fridge until needed.
