The Moroccan spice blend that saved me

Posted by kathryn in A Balanced Diet

A number of people have asked for the Moroccan spice blend recipe. The mixture I mentioned as one of the five foods that save me when I’m super-busy.

It’s quick and easy to make – no toasting and grinding required. The amounts below make about 1/4 cup of spice mix.

Moroccan spice blend

  • 2 teaspoons each of ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ginger and cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon each of ground white pepper and turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon each of chilli powder and ground nutmeg

Combine all spices and store in a sealed jar. Because spices lose their pungency with age, blend in small batches.

See my original post for suggestions about how to use.
