The Queen of Couscous, Kitty Morse, an acclaimed food writer, shared her Ras El Hanout recipe with us. Thanks to the popularity of Middle Eastern cooking, this spice is a favorite among home cooks perfecting their own tagines. Kitty Morse recommends roasting the spices before using them. This versatile blend has an abundance of uses, definitely earning its title of "Top of the Shop." Use it when you are roasting vegetables, braising beef with preserved lemon, or to add a kick to a pot of soup. Ingredients: Turmeric, pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, sea salt, ginger, mace, allspice, saffron.

Loved the flavor
Ras El Hanout, for great basic chicken bakes or grilled instead of salt and pepper
The Ras El Hanout made the perfect touch to our slow braised lamb chops. It added that Middle Eastern flair I was looking for. I got the suggestion from my daughter in law who uses many Spice House items. Thank you.
Similar to curry blends with greater warmth of umami but not heat. Raw vegetables tossed with olive oil and Ras El Hanout, then roasted, are delicious and satisfying.
Wonderful spice mixture.
