Ras El Hanout

I made a veggie soup today which came out a little bland. A few spoons of Ras El Hanout ("top of the shop") mixed spice added some warmth and complexity without being 'hot'. It was well received, I'm glad to say.

 

Ras El Hanout typically contains cardamom, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, ginger, turmeric, peppercorns, and allspice. You can add paprika and cayenne pepper for a bit of punch.
