Ras el Hanout – a spice specialty from North Africa
Traditionally, this unique spice mixture, which originally comes from northern Africa, is made up of up to 30 different individual spices. Depending on the region and function, unique recipes have developed. However, some spices can be found in almost every Ras el Hanout mixture: bayberry, Galangal and nutmeg for example.
This results in a combination that is sweet but also spicy at the same time. In North African cuisine, Ras el Hanout is served every day and is used, for example, to refine couscous, lamb and rice recipes. Anyone who appreciates the varied and even floral taste of Ras el Hanout can also use it to wonderfully season dishes such as goulash, chicken fillets or lentil dishes. A particularly tasty recipe idea is the combination of Ras al Hanout and classic hummus, simply enjoyed as a spicy, spicy dip.
Use correctly and season deliciously
Due to the slight spiciness and intensity of the individual components, it is recommended to only use the Ras el Hanout spice of Moroccan origin with regular seasoning. If you want to experience an original oriental feeling when cooking, you can use a tagine. The long braising process gives dishes a very special intensity, which is perfectly rounded off by the Ras el Hanout. To ensure that the valuable aroma does not evaporate too quickly, the spice should only be added to the dish towards the end of the cooking time, whether in the saucepan or the tagine. This way the Ras el Hanout retains its intensity and still has enough time to release its flavor. Experience with us what the Orient tastes like in all its facets.
