Use this blend to make Mrouzia or other Tagines, B'stillas (savory pies), or other traditional Moroccan / North African dishes. Add it to soups, stews, and marinades, or use it as a rub for meats, fish, and roasted vegetables. Add a bit to burgers or kebabs to add a wonderfully pungent, warm, and earthy 'exotic' flavor to your meal! Taz Doolittle www.TazCooks.com .
