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.
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.

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.

What is mixed spice? Is this another of your recipes?
Claire McEwen says
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
