There are many different ways of making a traditional Ras El Hanout Moroccan spice blend.
Here I make my version of Ras El Hanout using a mixture of fennel, clove, cayenne peper, black pepper, cumin, coriander, ginger, paprika, cardamon, turmeric and cinnamon.
You can use this spice blend recipe for marinating and cooking chicken or vegetables.
See my Moroccan chicken recipe here that uses my Ras El Hanout recipe.

Place all ingredients into an electric grinder and blend into a powder. You can use a pestle and mortar it will take a lot longer to grind than the electric grinder.

Wonderful and fabulous spice blend jeena:))
What a great sounding spice blend Jeena, I bet it's great!
this spice blend sounds all most like Indian spice mix(garam masala) but little difference is there intresting
Oh my gosh, that spice blend sounds TERRIFIC! Man, I bet it smells great, too. I'm off to check out the chicken recipe; I just know it's going to be amazing!
I never knew of this spice blend before but it is almost like garam massala which is fantastic. I shall give it a try as maybe the portions differ so that maybe a certain spice prevails over the others.
Jeena,
Can I come stay with you? You have all the yummy, healthy recipes!! The flavors sound fabulous.
