Spice Blends & Condiments

Four entries

Preserved lemon and ras el hanout form the structural foundations of the Moroccan pantry: one a fermented citrus transformation requiring weeks of salt-curing, the other a spice merchant's composite blend of up to thirty or more individual spices. Chermoula draws on both — fresh herb, preserved lemon, and ground spice worked into the marinade, basting liquid, stuffing, and finishing sauce that is North Africa's most versatile seasoning.
