This is the real deal
Be careful! After trying this wonderful blend of spices with great complexity of flavor that they say is made with 35 ingredients I found ras el hanout in my local grocery store. When I tried it alongside this one there was no comparison. Then I checked the label--the local one had only 8 ingredients! It went into the trash and another order was placed to Zamouri.
Ras el hanout can be used in a number of Moroccan dishes that are fabulous although they tend to be complex to prepare--although if you're in the mood they are worth the effort. But I also use it in tomato soup to give an amazing richness of flavor to it transforming an everyday dish to a company dish. Today I'm braising short ribs and when I've cooked down the braising liquid I'll add ras el hanout to provide a symphony of flavor to it. I haven't tried it with tomatoes and cheese on an omelet but it's the sort of thing that's likely to be fabulous. With a little experimentation you'll find your own favorite uses for it.More detail ...
