John Bailey on 2019-09-05 (5 stars): We love this recipe. Toasted the cumin, coriander and peppercorns and ground them. Very fragrant and complex flavors!
Peter Gavin on 2019-09-05 (5 stars): Used this on the grilled Moroccan chicken- so tasty!
Liz on 2020-06-21 (5 stars): Delicious! Thanks!

Amy L on 2020-11-05 (5 stars): This recipe was delightful! I made it last night and it will be added to my repertoire! I made my own Ras el Hanout and added saffron, lavender, and fennel seeds. Next time I'll add a little cayenne for a little heat (I noticed several other recipes for Ras el Hanout call for cayenne). The "smoked" yogurt was amazing with this.
Laura H. on 2021-01-02 (5 stars): Easy to make and delicious. Thank you!
Ian on 2021-04-23 (5 stars): I blended the Moroccan spiced mix & added a slow cooked pan fried eggplant in 15 mm slabs to the mix.
(Left out the couscous)
Pan fried aquaponic rainbow trout on top & it went down real well!
Great recipe thanks:)
Pina on 2022-05-30 (5 stars): Didn’t have cardamom so added a bit more nutmeg and cinnamon. Also added smoked paprika and a touch of turmeric. Great spice blend , authentic flavour, chicken was very moist as I marinated overnight. A must try
