The Black Peppercorn Exploring the joy of food!
In my spice cupboard I have many mason jars of premade spice rubs. There is nothing easier than opening up a jar and putting some rub on a piece of meat for grilling, roasting or smoking. I have a couple different BBQ rubs (spicy and mild), jerk rub, cajun rubs and this Moroccan rub.
The mix of spices in this Moroccan rub, also known as Ras el Hanout, provide amazing depth and at times tastes a little Indian and at others a little Mexican. All I know is that the flavour in this spice mix is incredible and the people of the North African country of Morocco know how to spice up a cut of meat.
If you are looking for a new spice rub to coat some lamb, chicken, beef or pork, you cannot go wrong with this Moroccan Spice Rub! Make sure you put a bunch on to create a wonderful crust on the meat.
- 1½ tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp coriander
- 1½ tbsp white sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- Mix all ingredients together and rub on meat. Grill, roast, smoke your meat as desired.
- To store, place in an airtight container and store in a cool and dry place.

Mmm! This sounds like a delicious rub! I’ve never tried Morocan food in all honesty but I can’t imagine not loving it! Bookmarked!

I really love the spices used here. Spices like cumin, cardamom, cinnamon and coriander are widely used in Indian cooking. Would love to try this spice rub to roast a chicken.

I have never prepared Moroccan style cuisine but we do enjoy lamb every once in a while so I am saving this to try. Nice blend of spices, sweet and heat. Better yet chicken will come up on the menu first!

Looking forward to Easter, I don’t wonder.
A wonderful time of renewing!
This rub looks great, and I will surely try it.
I love Tagine so can’t see why I wouldn’t love this.
Have a great day.
