Mediterranean Gourmet Ras Al Hanout, 16 Ounce

This is a good, affordable ras el hanout blend that provides nice warm and mild flavorings to many dishes. This savory blend seems less heavy on the cumin and turmeric and is not too heavy on the chili pepper, so it less curry-like, nor is it too spicy, like some of the other blends I've tried. There are noticeable brighter notes of cardamom and touches of mace/nutmeg. Very aromatic.Because there are so many varieties and blends of ras el hanout, it's difficult to say how it should taste. It's very much a matter of personal preference with this spice.This blend is good for all of the traditional North African dishes, like tajines, couscous, stews and combined with braising liquid for sauces. I am particularly fond of using this with vegetables like zucchini, squash, and eggplant. (infusing some olive oil with ras el hanout and dash of paprika, then lightly brushing on vegetables prior to grilling or baking, salt, pepper to taste). It also goes really well with sweeter vegetables like corn and can add a ton of depth to a store bought barbecue sauce.A fun, versatile spice blend that lends itself to many dishes. The 16oz amount and good price allows for a lot of affordable experimentation.

Good stuff... It smell's like Indian spice called garam masala.

Works okay

Meh. Not wowing. Kind of bland. Ordered 7-13-15 and production date on bag was 7-17-15.Spices from the future aren't that good.

After a trip to Morroco we looked for a recipe for a typical spice. This one is great! Can't compare to others but I don't know how you could beat this.Add 2 Tbs to ground beef with onion and egg. Great meatballs! Or coat a flank steak before you grill it.Excellent!

Good amount for the price, lot of flavour, smells great and you only need the tiniest of pinches to spice up any dish so one 16 ounce bag will last you forever.

Not a very good blend. You have a hot sensation, but that is it. No complexities of the traditional 20-30 spice blend of ras al hanout

Used it in a recipe for tuna tataki. It was so good that I also used it with a pork loin recipe.
