Submitted by jessymroberts

"From The New Elegant But Easy Cookbook by Marian Burros and Lois Levine, c. 1998. If you want to add something a little extra to a rack or lamb or a leg of lamb, you can rub some of this on the meat, to your taste. You can also use on other types of meat."

Very delicious! I made half the recipe then rubbed it on beef cubes for a tagine. I also sprinkled the mix on the potatoes that were going in the tagine. I will definitely be using this recipe again. Made for Photo Tag

I didn't like it so much on the first bite, but by the time I finished with my lamb, I decided I somewhat liked it. Not sure if it's because I've never had Moroccan before or because I omited the coriander.
