Ras el Hanout Spice Mix

JustJanS's Note:

Ras el hanout is a North African Spice and it's name translates loosely to "House Blend". It can contain as many as 50 ingredients including rosebuds and Spanish fly. This is a simple mix I'm submitting here. I've been lucky to be given some, but I'll be posting recipes using it, so thought others might like this recipe.It's apparently good for poultry, rabbit, pork, seafood eggs, vegetables, soups, tagines, braises, sautes, roasts, pastas, risotto and cooked pulses, It can also be mixed with flour to dust or coat food!!!

I really like this spice mix, have given it a good go, made a Moraccan Chicken, recipe I have posted, also rubbed some on a piece of slamon, and it turned out great. I can see I will use this mixture quite a lot, even in my curries.

I had all ingredients on hand. For this reason it was fast done.
The smell is delicious and stronger than the gas el hanout spice mix from the shop.
We will enjoy it for sure!

Easy to put together and made my Fragrant Moroccan Beef, Date, Honey and Prune Tagine - Crock Pot taste wonderful.
