The Ingo Holland Raz el Hanout is a mysterious spice blend with oriental roots, indispensable in North African cuisine. It takes a well-trained palate to create this complex mixture of chickpeas, pepper, orris root, rose petals, turmeric, galangal, rowan berries, cumin, star anise, grains of paradise, fenugreek, cinnamon, orange blossoms, lavender blossoms, chaste tree berries, chili, celery, coriander, cloves, mace, fennel, allspice, nigella, cardamom, and bay leaf. Raz el Hanout is an excellent couscous spice, suitable for tabouleh, roast lamb, oriental meat dishes, poultry, and vegetable dishes. The special interplay of the most diverse aromas gives lamb dishes a wonderfully oriental note.
