Notes
- This recipe makes just over 1 cup of chermoula sauce.
- Storage and freezing instructions: store it in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for later! Simply add a spoonful of chermoula at a time to an ice cube tray and freeze for two to three months.
- If you don't have saffron, omit it. Saffron is a nice addition, but it does not make or break this recipe and it is expensive.
