There are no stores that sell spicy chili peppers near my place, so I went with Thai chili paste, which reflects 1) My multicultural leanings, and 2) My unique ability to make do in a variety of situations. If you have fresh chiles, feel free to use a favorite one (depending on your comfort with heat), chopped and seeded, in place of the chili paste. If you have neither, a dash of cayenne or red chili flakes will add some heat. Some people add preserved lemon to chermoula. I can’t say I prefer it, as I find that it muddies the taste. But you can add some if you’d like. I’ve seen other versions with fresh dill, ginger root, onions, and coriander seeds. So feel free to play around with it. You can use a mortar and pestle to make chermoula, a mini-chopper, or the small bowl of a food processor, if you have one. Just a dab of this hot sauce is all that’s needed to enliven a dish. I also imagine it’d make a pretty nice sauce for a simple pasta. This recipe can easily be doubled.

There were only 2 happy moments on my worst vacation ever taken—one was when the hurricane ended. The second was when my friend and I were eating Curried Lentil dip at this little beach-side restaurant in Negril, while we heard Bob Marley covers playing from the dance club next door. When we returned from that sad trip, I was obsessed with re-creating the flavor of that one good night. After much experimentation I came up with this recipe - just spicy enough from the herbs, and just creamy enough from the coconut milk to be a fantastic starter, or serve as a lovely side dish. - safenervine

Adapted from Seven Spoons by Tara O’Brady Tara originally called for coriander seeds in her recipe, and I swapped out allspice since I like the sharp kick of allspice berries. You could use anything from star anise to cinnamon either along with the allspice, or swap out whatever spices you think that you might like. I would avoid going with too many though, as you want to flavor of the vinegared strawberries to be front and center. She also uses Champagne vinegar, which is not so easy to find in France (they don’t like the name “Champagne” to be associated with vinegar!) So you could use that in place of the apple cider vinegar that I used here. Although I’m not a fan of it on salads, a couple of discrete drops of balsamic vinegar will enrich the flavor, if you have any on hand.
