Sunday Supper: Lamb Chops Rubbed with Ras El Hanout Recipe
Cooking projects for people who'd like nothing more than to spend a sunday afternoon surrounded by the wonderful aromas of the kitchen.
Ras el hanout is a Moroccan spice blend that varies widely between the business, and families who produce it. This version contains many of the traditional ingredients, and one or two on the non-traditional. Ras el hanout is perfect with grilled lamb, but would also be delicious in a tajine or braise.
