Ras-el-hanout Spice Mix image

I first learned in-depth about ras-el-hanout spice mixes when wanting to recreate an amazing Moroccan lamb tagine dish I tried. After reading about as many variations I could find, I came up with this mixture. It is *wonderful* and makes an amazing lamb tagine. On top of that, it can kick magic into just about any dish, much the way Indian garam-masala is used. In fact, when a family member developed sensitivity to cumin, I began using this ras-el-hanout as a substitute for cumin and/or garam masala in various dishes, & it is delicious.
