I'm in love with a girl named Charmoula

For those of you who life Chimichurri, you will love Charmoula. It is like Chimichurri's zestier cousin. Charmoula consists of Spanish Paprika, which for those of you who didn't know is not much different than regular paprika, just a little sweeter. Also salt, ground cumin, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest (you really taste the juice and zest, its awesome) italian parsley roughly chopped (everything will go into a blender so no need to spend time finely chopping herbs) you will do the same thing with cilantro except with cilantro you will also use the stems, freshly cracked black pepper and extra virgin olive oil. You want to toast the spanish paprika, cumin and black peppercorns before putting them in the blender. It doesn't take very long to toast them, just keep them in the pan until you can start smelling the spices. The best part is you throw it all in the blend, add the oil at the end by streaming it in then blend until sauce consistency. It is good on everything!!

12 TBLS italian parlsey
12 TBLS cilantro and stems

I used it as a marinade for squash, cherry tomatoes and scallops then grilled them. I used the remaining as dip for veggies :) ENJOY
