I am going to talk about a mixed spice called Ras El Hanout.
Ras El Hanout comes from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Similar to garam masala but not as hot as curry powder. Ras El Hanout means “top of the shop” or “head of the shop”. You can buy Ras El Hanout at supermarkets or you can buy the spices and easily make it yourself. I make this spice a lot because it’s useful for lot of things such like fish, chicken, vegetables, dressing, and stews.
This time I’m using Juniper berries but if you cannot find them it’ll be OK without them.
I will put a recipe using this spice so try to make it. Check on YouTube Title for “Grilled Chicken and Lentil salad with Ras El Hanout and Orange Dressing” I’ll post the full recipe here as well.
