Moroccan Blend

This is a simple Moroccan blend that can be used instead of using store-bought blends. For more complex Morrocan flavours try my Ras el Hanout blend.

Servings: Makes approximately 1 small jar. Difficulty: Easy

Prep: 5 min  Cook: 5 min Total: 10 min

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons ground cumin
• 1 1/2 tablespoons mild paprika
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ground turmeric
• 1/2 tablespoon chilli powder

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

I personally like to buy all my spices whole (seeds, pods, etc) roast them in the oven to release their flavours and oils and then grind them using a spice blender.

STEP 2

However, you can just mix the ground versions and roast in a hot oven until fragrant (or if you are short on time no you can skip the roasting up the flavours will not be as intense).

STEP 3

Then all you have to do is mix all the spices together until well combined and store in a glass jar.

NOTE:

If you just want to make a small amount just use teaspoons instead of tablespoons, this will make 2 tablespoons.
