I discovered Ras el hanout spice mix very late in life, I avoided the recipes as they all seemed to have fruits in and I am not a lover of sweet taste in my main meals.
But the flavour description appealed, so after researching the spices used, I decided to make some meals and just ditch the apricots and almonds.
Ras el hanout is a blend including, turmeric, cumin, chilli and many more often secret spice, it translates 'head of the shop', meaning the best spices a seller may have to offer in the spice market.
The original Moroccan dishes are slow cooked in a tagine. Using a slow cooker works very well especially on cheaper cuts of lamb and of course this meal can be cooked in the oven.
