Citrus Free Ras El Hanout Spice Blend
Warm, aromatic, and deeply complex, this North African-inspired spice blend brings together turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and a handful of dried herbs into something that smells absolutely incredible the moment you open the jar. It's the kind of pantry staple that transforms roasted vegetables, braised meats, or even a simple grain bowl from ordinary to genuinely memorable. Many store-bought spice blends sneak in unexpected ingredients or are processed on shared equipment, so mixing your own at home puts you fully in control of what goes into your food. Every ingredient here is straightforwardly free of citrus in any form ā no zest, no dried peel, no hidden fruit acids ā so you can season generously without second-guessing the label. The optional cloves and rosemary add an extra layer of depth if you want to lean into the more resinous, earthy notes of the blend. A quick stir, an airtight jar, and you've got a reliable, fragrant blend ready to go for up to three months.
