Chermoula BBQ Pork and Mustard Potato Salad

  
This can be done on the BBQ or on the grill or skillet. You will see that the sides are very in-keeping with weight watching needs hurrah! This bad boy should be about 10 points (I spent 9 on wine whilst I was BBQ-ing, error…) chermoula is ideal to marinade fish or any meat really. It’s North African in origin so lots of nice recipes are possible using it. 

Ingredients:

Chermoula I actually bought mine ready made from belazu 😳 as I was v busy this weekend but it’s easy to make!! 

  • 250ml fresh coriander
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp ground paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 red chilli, seeded
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt, to taste
  • cayenne pepper, to taste

Pork:

  • Pork loin steaks or pork chops (1 per person)

Method:

  1. Blitz all the chermoula ingredients together. 
  2. Rub the chermoula all over the pork and leave to marinade in the fridge overnight ideally or for at least a couple of hours 
  3. Heat up grill/skillet/BBQ till nice and hot and cook on each side for around 8 minutes depending on thickness 
  4. Rest briefly and serve 

Ideal to serve with mustard potato salad and leaves etc. DO THE POTATOES FIRST.
