This is a delicious mixture and keeps well in a small plastic container with a tight lid. It's essential for the turkey dish and really good with lamb patties. I'm using the last of it tonight as a rub on a roasted chicken.

I made this to use in the Roasted Vegetable Couscous recipe, and it was excellent for that. Tonight I added a teaspoon of it to 2/3 cup whole wheat couscous, which I cooked in water. (Also added golden raisins) The spices lift plain couscous up off the floor. I can't wait to rub this on chicken thighs for grilling, and also in brown rice. This is a very tasty combination.

This blend has an exotic flavor, but is made with ingredients that are easy to find. I use it to make Moroccan meatball soup. Yum!

This is great stuff. Made for the Turkey Kefta and have like even better using it other ways. I added a little to some Greek yogurt with cilantro and it was a nice side/dip/sauce for my pita.
