I always smile when I think of the variety of spice mixtures a Moroccan cook has at her disposal—more than in any other Mediterranean country. This particular blend is used for lentils, beans, and potatoes in the city of Tangier.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Freshly ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
