Moroccan Inspired Spice Blend
Mix up a batch of homemade Moroccan-inspired spice blend to add a burst of unique flavor and spice to meat, veggies, chicken, or grains.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tbsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tbsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust down if you don't like spicy)
- 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix the spices together. Pour into a sealed container and store in a cool, dry place for 6 months.
Notes
NOTE ON SALT:
I recommend not adding salt directly to the spice blend, but you will absolutely need to add salt to your meat, protein, or vegetable when cooking. I personally prefer to adjust the salt depending on the dish and prefer my spice mixes to not have salt mixed in.
