Moroccan Spice Mix
The New Camp Cookbook is full of all kinds of recipes. This Moroccan Spice Mix will add flavor to all of your favorite camp food. Warm spices lend a bit of Mediterranean flavor to grilled meats, side dishes and even your breakfast eggs. 
Mixing a spice blend at home allows you to select the brands and style of grind that you prefer. Knowing exactly what goes into your spice blend is priceless.
Often prepackaged spice blends include items you may be looking to limit from your diet. Think sodium (salt) and artificial colors or flavors. The prepackaged mixes usually have plenty of flavor and they sure are convenient! I’ve used plenty and will continue to pick up a package now and then.
But making this Moroccan Spice Mix from Linda Ly has convinced me to investigate making my own blends. I’m sure there are many recipes out there for “homemade” blends, I mean, where did the commercial ones originate?

On top of controlling the ingredients, I’m in love with the colors the grounds spices in this mix have. Look how appealing that little mason jar of Moroccan Spice Mix is!
I used spices from several different makers and stores. Some were name brand. Some were store brand, others were generic. Some were organic. Some didn’t indicate on the label if they were organic. I’m ok with that.
If you have a spice store that you trust, I suggest you purchase your spices there. There’s always Amazon and other mail order sites to get your spices from, too.
I received a copy of The New Camp Cookbook by Linda Ly in exchange for a review. I wrote that review along with sharing the Campfire Chai recipe here. This cookbook is a camper’s must-have.
If you’re planning your Christmas shopping, add this to the list for the camper in your life.
Ly uses this Moroccan Spice Mix in her recipe titled: Moroccan Spiced Spinach, Chickpea and Pancetta Bowl. That dish sounds wonderful and I’ve been planning to make it for weeks now.
Every time I go to the grocery, I pick up ingredients with the intention of making this side dish. However, I always end up using the spinach in another recipe and haven’t yet made it. Dang!
Make It a Meal:
Use this Moroccan Spice Mix in place of the spices in this roast pork recipe. Coat some chicken thighs with the mix and serve along side Simple Corn Salad.

I’ve always preferred making my own spice mixes. This Moroccan one sounds awesome.
Try it out … this recipe makes a manageable amount … enough to find out if you really like it, not too much.
I love homemade spice mixes over jarred anyday! This sounds like a great one to keep on hand!
So many uses, so reassuring to know what’s inside … and you get to play with the pretty spices.
I love the Morroccan spice mix! I usually buy mine ready made. I have all these at home so I’ll definitely be making this one soon.
Why am I not surprised?! You’ll love it.
All of those spices are so spicy (not hot) and warm! I love having homemade mixes around for when we make chicken and other meats.
I love the warm spices … things that light my mouth on fire are not a favorite – altho I know other people love them. These live in my cupboard all the time. I’ll be making this blend again!
Love the sound of this spice mix! I love making my own mixtures…definitely going to try this.
Mix some up, you won’t be sorry you tried it.
This is such a great idea! It would be so great to have this on hand and ready to go for recipes throughout the week. Definitely saving for later!
Thanks Christine. I hope you find a bunch of uses for this spice blend.
I love Moroccan food and the spices used and always wanted to learn how to make the true Moroccan spice. Thanks for sharing =)
Adriana, I can’t vouch for the authenticity … but it sure seems accurate. It’s definitely got flavor!
This spice mix sounds wonderful! I often use garam masala on salmon and I’m thinking I could replace it with this spice mix and love the result as well!
On salmon, what a good idea … I’m adding salmon to the grocery list for this weekend. Thanks.
I can imagine so many uses for this spice! I can’t wait to make a batch for my kitchen!
I feel like this is one of those spice blends that would get used once or twice a week!
