Ras El Hanout - Moroccan 12 Spice Blend
Ras el hanout is a complex, aromatic Moroccan spice blend that's so famously associated with Moroccan cuisine, it always makes the list of foods to bring back from a trip to Morocco.The literal translation of ras el hanout from Arabic to English is “head of the shop," implying that this mix of spices is the very best offering in a spice shop -- the top "shelf." Due to its liberal use in mrouzia, a lamb and honey dish with intense seasoning, ras el hanout is also sometimes called mrouzia spice.Source: CHRISTINE BENLAFQUIH
