8 to 12 as an hor d’oeuvre, 4 to 6 as a major dish
Author Notes
Chermoula, an herb-crammed sauce outdated in North African cooking, is a comely
marinade thru which to bake tempeh. These tasty morsels will possible be eaten alone as an hors d’oeuvre, or serve them as a major dish, alongside with couscous or rice. I opt to pair my dishes with movie, tune, or book solutions. The soundtrack for this recipe is “An Echo from the Hosts That Profess Infinitum” by Shabazz Palaces from their “Sad Up” album. —Bryant Terry
