🔵 What Is? How To Make Ras el Hanout راس الحانوت‎ Spice Mix Recipe || Glen & Friends Cooking

[@yaschaeffer]

I've made several of your recipes since discovering your channel, and I've enjoyed every single one of them. I'd been eyeing your Ras-al-hanout for a while now, and today took the plunge. So not only have I got the lovely scent of freshly homemade blended spice mix hovering in the air, but the oh-so-lovely smells wafting from the oven right now from your chicken-lentil-hanout casserole recipe are making my stomach make all sorts of demanding-to-be-fed sounds (the less said about the current mouth-watering situation, the better). As regards any negative comments re lack of authenticity, that you may be receiving, you state quite clearly that every merchant will have their own mix and recipe, and cooking as you say IS a personal thing. I, for one, can't stand ginger (your ginger beer videos are fascinating nevertheless) or cinnamon, so there's no way those were ever going into my mix. but I added a few things extra that I like. If the smells wafting around in here right now are anything to go by, I chose well. Will you be making any more ras-al-hanout based recipes? Keep up the good work. I applaud your relaxed and down-to-earth manner in these videos.

Feeling stuffed. Very, very happy with this recipe. I shall definitely be making this again.

I like that you have written that in arabic also, waiting to see your take on the Northern African cuisine.

It's wonderful in butternut squash soup.

[@Kiersten79]

Can’t wait for the incoming recipes 😊

[@keetrandling4530]

Nice spice! For me, I'd lessen or eliminate the anise, up the cinnamon, and add some packets of True Orange (dehydrated natural orange peel oil & juice, from True Citrus in Maryland, USA - I LOVE that stuff!) Oh, and cardamom, definitely! Plus some nutmeg or mace.

[@dunniam3168]

You are the best 👀👀👊😘😘😘

[@VandrothSoryn]

add a few rosebuds to this and you're golden

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Nice@!

[@KenoattX]

Thanks for the great videos. 🙂. I would love to see a video on star anise.

I first found this spice mix in Montreal, I did roasted chicken using it boy I loved it went back for more. it was expensive, now thanks to you I can make it at home. ^_^

[@veganfromvenus]

Hi, I'm looking for this spice in Montreal. Where did you find it please?

[@billebest]

Thanks for the recipe! Had to use it a few years back and ended up buying it from House of Spice in Kensington. Makes 5 spice powder look easy. 😉

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

I walk past House of Spice in Kensington all the time!

[@Harriston]

“Ras el hanout” ras means “head” or “top” and hanout means “shop” or “grocery store” so ras el hanout is the top (best) of the spices available in the shop. We use it in Morocco in recipes like Mrouzia and Pastilla

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

I'm so glad that my commentary at 0:23 was able to translate that for you!

[@lukepaping]

I've also seen hibiscus used as part of the mix, but that and rosebud (as someone else mentioned) are probably not the kind of thing you'll find on most spice racks

[@lordkrispy]

Hi Glen, I'm coming to this recipe late, but following your newest ras el hanout meatball pilaf dish. A question - the 'anise'. I would find it hard to get just anise seed. Is the substitute star anise or fennel seeds there? Very different but similar in terms of anise style flavour? I appreciate you may say 'try it, and do whatever your taste tells you' but an initial steer would be good! Thanks

[@tracegates8841]

Hi there, If you are trying to substitute star anise for anise seed bonappetit .com offers this info: "Star anise is used whole to flavor soups and tea, and ground in baked goods and other dishes. When substituting star anise for anise, use about half the amount of ground star anise for ground anise seed. Whole star anise will keep for one year or longer, stored airtight in a cool, dark place." I take this to mean, if you are grinding the star, it would be an acceptable substitution for just the seed. I find fennel seed has a similar profile, but somewhat different flavor. My personal taste tells me Anise is more full bodied and sweetly aromatic, fennel being more subdued and rounded. I have known fennel used in pork sausage making, and have also heard anise used in Italian meat sauce with various meats.

[@eezepeeze]

Where do you source your whole spices? I have some food allergies, so hard to tell on Amazon which companies follow U.S. labeling standards for that kind of thing. Just wondered what brands you trust to be safe and high quality.

[@maryw5935]

It’s like what he had in the 100 foot journey movie 🤔 ?

[@1234jasy]

Did you toast the whole spices?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

In this case - because I'm making enough to last a month or so of cooking - no. If I was making enough for use that day, I would have. Toasted spices, that are then ground and stored; lose their volatility quickly.

[@GrillTopExperience]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Oops! I've probably messed that up a few times. Lesson learned!

[@meowtrox1234]

difference between garam masala and ras el hanout?

[@xibalbaNOW]

This guy’s mix is closer to a garam masala than a ras el hanout, missing all the complex notes of sweet and sour from things like dried limes etc

[@rayonblanc3478]

Not Morocco but all the north Africa

[@yasobou5943]

C'est purment marocain

[@elnicedude559]

No ever in North Africa ever used aside from Moroccans. So shut up .

[@yasminekalaidji]

Ras el hanout is not typically moroccan, it’s been done in all of north africa. These are just left overs of herbs that were put together nothing more nothing less. Every region has its own recipe.

[@gaildinnerstein3518]

No amounts except written at the end & not able to enlarge it quickly.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Well... There is a pause button. Pretty easy to press pause and enlarge. OR you could look in the description box; this video just like all of our videos has the full written recipe in the description box.

[@Smartthoughtslife]

Contact me and i will send it to you next time from Marrakech

[@abdullaqasem4861]

Do you know arabic or this is the only word that you know? 😊
