Of the many recipes inspired by Paula Wolfert, this chermoula is one of our favorites. Wolfert helped popularize this sauce with the 1973 release of Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco, the first major English-language Moroccan cookbook ever published. The bold condiment, a kind of Moroccan salsa verde, incorporates fresh herbs—parsley and cilantro—plus fragrant ground spices including cumin, coriander, and paprika. It’s traditionally served with seafood, but we love it on everything from salmon fillets to turkey sandwiches.
