Best 6 Chermoula Roasted Tomatoes Recipes

GRILLED EGGPLANT AND TOMATOES WITH CHERMOULA

Steps:

• Prepare a hot grill. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and brush on both sides with olive oil. Cut the tomatoes in half, sprinkle with salt and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill the eggplant on both sides until soft and charred. Grill the tomatoes on the cut side until grill marks appear, turn and grill briefly on the other side.
• Transfer the grilled vegetables to a platter. Spoon chermoula over the top. Serve hot or at room temperature.

TOMATO CHERMOULA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, cumin, and paprika and sauté until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, cilantro, and parsley. Cook until tomatoes are juicy, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat, stirring frequently.)

CHERMOULA

Steps:

• Coarsely chop the cilantro and parsley. A scissors is a good tool for this; point it tip down in the measuring cup and cut the leaves. Then place them in a food processor and chop very fine, or chop on a cutting board. You should have 1 cup finely chopped herbs.
• Place the garlic and salt in a mortar and puree. Add a small handful of the chopped herbs, and gently but firmly grind until the herbs begin to dissolve. Add another handful. When all of the herbs have been mashed, work in the spices, 1/3 cup olive oil and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more olive oil or salt if desired. Serve with grilled fish and/or vegetables, or with chicken.

SLOW-ROASTED BLACK COD WITH RED CHERMOULA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Mix cilantro stems, chile, garlic, oil, tomato paste, paprika, red pepper flakes, honey, allspice, and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside 3 tablespoons chermoula for serving.
• Place fish in a 3-quart shallow baking dish. Cut 1 pint of tomatoes in half and scatter around fish along with remaining whole tomatoes. Spoon remaining chermoula over tomatoes and fish, spreading across the surface with the back of the spoon. Season with salt and pepper and roast until fish is cooked through and tomatoes are soft and some have burst, 20-30 minutes.
• Transfer fish to a platter, breaking into large pieces. Remove and discard skin. Spoon tomatoes and roasting juices over and around fish. Top with reserved chermoula, then cilantro leaves; drizzle with more vinegar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
