With nothing more than a bowl, whisk, and set of measuring cups, you can stir together a deliriously exotic spice blend, pack it into spice jars, and like magic have a unique gift for the cooks in your life. This aromatic mix of nine essential spices used in Moroccan cuisine can be the basis for a chicken or lamb tagine. Used as a rub, grilled pork tenderloin or chops get a power surge of flavor and ho-hum potatoes are deliciously vibrant when seasoned and roasted.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup ground ginger
• 1/2 cup ground cumin
• 1/4 cup Pimentón de la Vera Dulce (sweet smoked paprika)
• 1/4 cup cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup turmeric
• 1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
• 3 grams saffron threads, finely crushed

Implements

Medium Bowl, Measuring Cups, Whisk, Three Spice Jars or Tins

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ginger, cumin, paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, turmeric, pepper, and saffron.

2. Divide into 3/4-cup portions and transfer to jars or tins with tight-fitting lids.
