Easy Moroccan Spice Mix

24 Mar 2016 By Nathalie Leave a Comment

In our interview, Sasha Sonnenberg mentioned that she’s really enjoying using a Moroccan Spice rub to add flavour to food without having to use sauces.

Moroccan Spice Rub - Easy 8-ingredient mix that is delicious for adding exotic flavours #Vegan #SpiceYou can always buy your own Moroccan mix or you can make your own salt-free version like the one I have put together for you below. Leaving salt out of the blend reduces total salt intake which is useful for those with high blood pressure. If you do not have high blood pressure, you can add a small amount of salt as desired.

I have included turmeric in the blend which is known to have anti-inflammatory actions through the component called curcumin. The bioavailability (or absorption into the body so it can act as an anti-inflammatory molecule) is improved when the turmeric is cooked with some oils. Do not be afraid to use a small amount of oil in the preparation of your dishes.

I halved aubergines, scored them, brushed them with some olive oil, sprinkled with the spice blend and then roasted them in the oven for about an hour at 180°C. Delicious with cumin spiced lentils and tahini. How have you used the blend?
