Ras El Hanout

Ras El Hanout (“head of the shop”) is a fragrant, warming North African spice blend – the signature seasoning of Moroccan tagines and couscous.

Use it for tagines, couscous and pastilla, rub it over lamb, chicken or roasting vegetables, stir it into soups, stews and chickpeas, or mix it with yoghurt for a quick marinade.
