Ras el Hanout is a traditional spice blend from North Africa, whose name means “top of the shop,” referring to the finest selection of spices a merchant has to offer. Known for its authentic and aromatic profile, it is an intense and warm mix that has been used for centuries to bring depth and soul to slow-cooked dishes.
The Pinch’s version honours this heritage by combining cumin, coriander seed, turmeric, paprika, garlic, black pepper, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and cayenne. This natural blend creates a rich, slightly sweet and enveloping flavour that builds layers of warmth and complexity.
Traditionally used in tagine, the iconic dish made with meat, vegetables and dried fruit slowly cooked in clay, it also pairs beautifully with chicken, lamb, chickpeas, couscous, rice pilaf or roasted vegetables. You can use it in marinades, stir it into yoghurt sauces or add it to creamy soups for an exotic touch.
Whether you're recreating a Moroccan classic or simply exploring new ways to season your cooking, this blend brings the authentic character of the Maghreb to every dish.
