HERBS 

Level 1

Chermoula Sauce for Fish

Serves 2

 - a Nancy Gershman creation -    

Herbs lying listless in the crisper? Make "chermoula" sauce for scallops or any of your favorite fish. This is the most idiot-proof sauce you can imagine, and it can be used immediately, at room temperature.

Purée in a food processor the herb in question (preferably that tired cilantro and parsley, minus the stems) with juice of 1/2 a lemon, 2 garlic cloves, olive oil with a dash of cumin & paprika. Salt and pepper to taste.

Storage tip: Keep your herbs fresher longer by putting them in a little vase that can sit in your refrigerator. Prepare them by giving the stems a fresh cut (cleaning away any leaves that remain so they don't "mulch" up the water). Finally, fit a little sandwich bag over the top so that none of the leafy part of the herb is exposed to the cold air.
