这种摩洛哥香料blend-an诱人mi的名字x of sweet, savory, and spicy—means 'head of the shop," implying that it's the store's best blend. Use it to season the Lamb Tagine with Chickpeas and Apricots (see recipe), as well as your favorite chicken or vegetable dishes.

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • This was really wonderful!!! Everyone raved about it. I didn’t have coriander seed, so replaced with ground coriander. Also made earlier in the day and kept simmering another 1.5 hours after adding the garbanzos and apricots. (Added an extra 1/2 cup chicken stock...anticipating longer cook time.) Soooo good. Meat was fall apart tender. A new favorite!

  • Fantastic! I used to live near a Tagine restaurant in my younger years and have never dared trying this on my own. This recipe, followed exactly, except I didn't have seeds of the two spices for the coriander or cumin, so I did warm the already-ground ingredients and followed exactly.

  • With the shops closed I whipped this up to rub on skinned chicken thighs- all the right flavours and it was easy. It works well and I will make it again.

  • I cut the crushed pepper to 1/4 tsp. and added 1/4 tsp. ground clove and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg.

  • Easy, but less complex (fewer ingredients) than other recipes for Rs-El-Hanout. It works and that's what's important.
