Ingredients
Chermoula:
- 4 tablespoon Freeze dried parsley
- 4 tablespoon fresh cilantro finely minced
- 1 tablespoon freeze fried garlic
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 pinch salt or more, to taste
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 lemon juice of
- 6 TBs water
cranberry sauce:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 3 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
Bruschetta:
- baguette
- 300 g goat cheese
Instructions
To make chermoula:
- Combine all the ingredients of chermoula in a bowl, except the oil and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the oil and juice, whisking the mixture with a fork as you go along. Set aside (chermoula can keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for a week, or even longer).
Cup of Yum
To make cranberry sauce:
- Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan on high heat, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved - about 3 minutes. Add the cranberries to the pot and return to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until most of the cranberries have burst.
To assemble cranberry goat cheese bruschetta:
- When you're ready to serve your cranberry goat cheese bruschetta, slice baguette or ciabatta thinly. Spread with 2 tablespoons of goat cheese (or more, to taste), top with a tablespoon of cranberry sauce and two teaspoons of garlic and herb chermoula. You can use more or less of each component - taste and decide how you like it.
Notes
- If making in advance, make chermoula and cranberry sauce and keep in sealed containers in the fridge. They can be made up to a week in advance.
