Green Chilli Charmoula

Ingredients for Green Chilli Charmoula

• 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds

• 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds

• 2 spring onions

• 2 serrano chillies

• 1/2 cup chopped basil

• 1/2 cup chopped coriander

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• A spice mill or a mortar and pestle

Toast coriander seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, swirling pan often and adding cumin seeds during the last 30 seconds, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool, then finely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Grill spring onions and chillies, turning occasionally with tongs, until lightly charred and blistered in spots but crisp-tender, about 2 minutes for spring onions and about 5 minutes for chillies. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool slightly, then chop and place in a small bowl. Add basil, coriander, oil, and ground spices to spring onions and chillies and mix well; season with salt and pepper.

Charmoula can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
