Moroccan Ras El Hanout Spice Blend
Ras El Hanout, meaning "top of the shop," is a rich and aromatic Moroccan spice blend used to season meats, vegetables, tagines, and rice dishes. Packed with warm, earthy, and slightly sweet spices, this homemade version lets you customise the flavours to your liking. You can buy this blend in the supermarkets but you can make your own version with this recipe for a fraction of the price.
