Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon garlic roughly chopped, 1-2 cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ lemon juice (ie from ½ lemon, should be around 1tbsp/15ml for 1 quantity)
  • 3 tablespoon cilantro/coriander chopped
  • 3 tablespoon parsley chopped
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Crush the cumin seeds with a pestle and mortar then tip them to add back in later.
  • Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Put it and the salt in the mortar and crush together to a paste. Add back the cumin along with the paprika, lemon juice, cilantro and parsley. Mix together and crush them with the pestle so they become well softened but still with some texture. Add the oil and stir through.
  • While you can make this and use it immediately, it's best left to settle an hour or so before using.
