Ultimate Moroccan style spice mix

Ultimate Moroccan style spice mix

This is my go-to, ultimate Moroccan style spice mix that I have tweaked over time. I use it on home made lamb doner kebabs, BBQ lamb neck, lamb shoulder and a load of other bits! (but as you might tell, lamb is my favourite combo for this mix).

I have named it Mo-Rock’n’Roll, and honestly I’m sharing the recipe here in no small part because I love the name so much, hahah.

Applying liberally over lamb neck (as per header picture) or lamb shoulder before smoking low-and-slow is always a winner.
