Ras El Hanout Recipe - Moroccan Spice Blend
"Ras El Hanout is a complex, aromatic Moroccan spice blend. Most recipes include cardamom, nutmeg, anise, mace, cinnamon, ginger, various peppers, and turmeric, but 30 or more ingredients might be used. Typically prepared by grinding together whole spices, dried roots and leaves, this recipe keeps things simple by using ground spices. Ras El Hanout's literal translation from Arabic is “head of the shop," implying that it's "the best (or top) of the shop." While some Moroccans use it in daily cooking, others reserve it for specialty dishes. Moroccan Recipes with Ras El Hanout will give you ideas on how to season with it.
