Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

If we prepare the mixture with whole spices, it will always have a more intense and deep aroma.
The spices from the first group can be heated whole for 5 minutes in a skillet without oil over medium heat, stirring continuously to enhance the aromas.
Once the spices are toasted, grind them into a fine powder with a grinder (a coffee grinder can be used) or with a mortar and pestle. Then, sift them and, once cooled, mix them with the spices from the second group.
Once all the spices are well mixed, they can be stored in an airtight jar, ready to be used when necessary.

Recommendations & Tricks

To obtain the maximum aroma, it is recommended to use whole spices whenever possible. Grind the spices yourself with a grinder or mortar, and then sift them to ensure that no large particles remain.
When grinding cloves, make sure not to overdo it to avoid turning it into an oily paste. One teaspoon is sufficient to provide the characteristic intense flavor.
Use freshly ground black pepper for added aroma. Two teaspoons of this pepper will add a rich complexity to the ras el hanout.
Before grinding green cardamom, slightly open the pods with a knife to release the fragrance of the seeds. One teaspoon is the right amount for a spicy yet moderate touch.
White pepper is milder than black and adds depth to the flavor without being too dominant. One teaspoon is suitable for balance.
To round off the mixture, add two teaspoons of freshly ground cumin, as its earthy flavor deliciously contrasts with the other spices.
Finally, store the mixture in an airtight container away from direct light to maintain its freshness and intensity for a longer time.
