Ras el Hanout spice mix is comprised of no less than fifteen herbs and spices that are roasted and mixed by hand. The spice mix contains warm, sweet flavours of cinnamon, cloves, mace and nutmeg. The addition of cardamom, coriander, allspice adds zest and zing to the blend! Whole rose petals and lavender are added at the end to impart pleasant, floral notes.
Passed down from generations, the highly esteemed Morocca Ras el Hanout spice blend translates from Arabic to ‘Top of the Shop’. It is believed that spice traders at Moroccan souks are in competition to sell the finest version. In some cultures, it is believed to have symbolic meanings, representing hospitality, warmth, and generosity. It’s often used in celebratory meals and special occasions.
This Moroccan spice mix is known as the essential tagine seasoning. The aromatic, complex flavours work well when stirred through boiled rice and couscous or rubbed into lamb especially. This versatile spice blend can also be used when cooking grilled meats, and vegetable dishes. Simple to use as a rub for meats or as a seasoning for roasted vegetables.
Delia Smith featured our premium quality, hand made Ras-el-Hanout in her ‘How to Cheat at Cooking’ cookbook on page 123 for her Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons and Chickpeas. Check out Nigella’s Moroccan roast lamb video (below) as featured in her “Forever Summer” book.
