Ras el Hanout is not a spicy blend, but gives dishes a pungent, warm flavor. The cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg also add sweet accents. Since it's a blend, it's convenient to use in marinades, as a rub, as a seasoning in many dishes like stews and tajines, and as a condiment since you only have to measure out one thing. Moroccans even believe it has aphrodisiac properties. Mix Ras el Hanout with softened butter or sour cream to instantly make an interesting topping, or toss it over fresh popcorn for a savory snack.
