Ras el Hanout

Ras el Hanout is a Moroccan spice blend built on warm baking spices and pepper. Nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, and allspice create a sweet-spiced base, while black pepper and ginger add gentle heat. Cardamom and saffron bring floral, slightly bitter notes that show up as the dish cooks. Use it in chicken tagine, couscous, rice, or as a rub for grilled or slow-cooked meats.
