Ras el hanout, literally translated as “head of shop,” is a spice mixture used in North African cooking. The mixture usually consists of over a dozen spices, in different proportions. Common ingredients include cardamom, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, allspice, dry ginger, chili peppers, coriander seed, peppercorn, sweet and hot paprika, fenugreek, and dry turmeric. I bought the spice blend in a local supermarket, but it's super easy to make your own. Here is a simplified recipe if you want to try it.
The spice blend gives extra oomph to this simple homemade nut mix. The nuts are delicious and provide the perfect balance of healthy fats, protein, and fiber that help beat in-between meal blahs and also great as a homemade gift too. I have used a mixture of pecans, walnuts, cashews and almonds, but any other nut combination would work too.

- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.
- Combine pecans, walnuts, cashews and almonds in a large bowl. Add salt and ras el hanout. Toss to coat.
- Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Slowly pour butter mixture over nuts and stir to coat.
- Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, stir nuts to coat with warm syrup and spread them out again in a single layer. Return to the oven and bake for a further 6-8 minutes until nuts are sticky and roasted. Remove and allow to cool and store in an air-tight container.

Late Xmas Day afternoon from Down Under . . . I have used ras el hanout for over 70 years and would be absolutely lost without it . . . Surely one of the most classic spice mixtures alongside Baharat, Berbere, Shichimi Togarishi et al - oddly enough have not used it for nuts - interesting - must try !!!
we buy "mixed nuts" sometimes, healthy and tasteful.....
Happy Holiday
I love such mixed nuts. Usually bought a tub for Chinese New Year to enjoy. Which reminded me that is less than a month away!!!
Merry Christmas to you and family!!
