Ras el hanout
A Marrakech spice market.
Until recently, I had not heard of Ras el hanout. Now I seem to stumble across references to it frequently – online, in food magazine, and in travel accounts. It’s an intriguing spice blend, and there is apparently no one “right” way to create it, it can contain a dozen spices, or a hundred. I’m looking forward to tasting dishes made with it in Morocco, in only a couple weeks!
