Ingredients
For the chermoula:
- 2 cups cilantro
- 1 small red onion chopped (about 1 cup)
- ⅓ cup flat-leaf parsley
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves quartered
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes use more for a spicier sauce
- Pinch of saffron threads
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the skewers
- 2 large zucchini or summer squash
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 7-ounce package of Halloumi cheese
- 8-10 fresh bay leaves optional
Instructions
Make the chermoula:
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S-blade, combine the ingredients for the chermoula. Process until the mixture forms a thick paste—not a smooth paste, but textured (you should be able to see the flecks of herbs). Set aside.
Cup of Yum
For the skewers:
- Cut the vegetables and cheese into ½-inch thick pieces and place them in a large bowl with the chermoula paste. Toss to coat and cover with plastic wrap; marinate at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
- Thread the marinated veggies and cheese onto skewers, alternating veggies and cheese, and adding in 2-3 bay leaves per skewer.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, brush the pan with olive oil and cook the skewers until the vegetables are lightly charred all over, about 10 minutes, basting with chermoula every few minutes and turning occasionally. Remove from grill and serve over rice, quinoa, millet.
