MOROCCAN SPICE BLEND - RAS EL HANOUT



Moroccan Spice Blend - Ras el Hanout image

Ras el Hanout means head of the shop and is a spice mix that can be found online and in many larger markets. It may contain as many as 100 spices and as few as 10. I make a base substitute from spices I have on hand in my own pantry. I make batches of about 1/3 cup that I can keep on hand for several recipes before I need to make more.

RAS EL HANOUT STEWED LAMB

This is an authentic Moroccan dish featuring the spice mix ras el hanout. If you are not able to purchase it commercially, there are a couple of recipes for the mix posted here on Recipezaar. While the dish is well-flavored, it is not "hot". If you are looking for an easily-prepared comforting meal, I invite you to give this one a try. As a side note, I was quite amused to find that it tastes amazingly similar to a typically Belgian dish, "Stoverij" (Beef Carbonnade).

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb meat. Look for lamb that is well-marbled and has a bright red color.
  • Be sure to marinate the lamb for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
  • When grilling the lamb, be sure to cook it over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the lamb in a pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to sear the meat well on all sides before reducing the heat to medium and cooking through.
  • The red pepper walnut tahini sauce is a great way to add flavor and richness to the lamb shawarma. Be sure to use roasted red peppers for the best flavor.
  • Serve the lamb shawarma with your favorite toppings, such as pita bread, hummus, tahini sauce, and fresh vegetables.

Conclusion:

Ras el hanout marinated lamb shawarma with red pepper walnut tahini sauce is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The lamb is tender and juicy, the sauce is creamy and tangy, and the toppings add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
