    Moroccan Spice Blend

    Updated: Nov 7th 2019 • Published: Nov 18th 2014 • 4 Comments

    Jump to Recipe SaveSaved!

    This Moroccan Spice Blend is a wonderful mix of fragrant earthy spices that will lift your food and add that unmistakable Moroccan edge.

    Rub this over a chicken thigh and then roast along side some sweet potato and carrots, you have a warming and effort free dinner.

    Or sprinkle it over some buttered couscous, flecked with sultanas and you can drift away to dreams of dancing in the sand, wearing a silk sarong, as the sun sets.

    white bowl filled with spices

    In a sealed jar this Moroccan Spice Mix will keep for a good 6 months, longer if your spices are new.

    I don't add salt to my spice mix as I like to have full control over the salt in a dish, but if you want a general all around seasoning then add ½ tablespoon of table salt to the spice blend recipe.

    Enjoy x

    Try using this mix in my Moroccan Spiced Chicken Salad.

      Love your style Claire! I wouldn't have found you if I had not been looking for Old Bay seasoning in Australia! Of course I have then looked at other parts of your website and will definitely bookmark.

        Hi Vickie, mixed spice is a blend that you can buy in most supermarkets here in Australia and in the UK. It is a mixture of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Allspice and then depending on the brand it may contain a touch of ginger and cloves.

        I believe it is similar to the pumpkin spice blends they sell in America.

        A few people have asked me about mixed spice, so I think I will get a recipe to make you own up on the blog soon, especially as it is such a wonderful blend to use at Christmas.

        Hope this helps x
