- Ingredients: Allspice, cardamon, cassia, coriander, paprika, turmeric, chilli flakes
- Contains 1 portion (2 tbsp) - serves 4
- Find the recipe below
Strictly speaking, tagine is the name for the unique conical cooking pot used in Morocco but it’s become known as the generic name for a gently spiced slow-cooked stew often sweetened with dried fruit or honey. The balance between the sweetness of the fruits or honey and fragrance of the spices is a key element of refined Moroccan cooking and here the mix includes coriander, paprika, allspice, cassia and cardamon.
USES: Obviously great for tagines, but also try on roasted veg!
INGREDIENTS: Allspice, cardamon, cassia, coriander, paprika, turmeric, chilli flakes

Delicious, will make again!
Excellent as always, preferred it when you packed it in the recipe card, just me getting old and can’t memorise everything, but I think recipe is available on website Great taste
Thanks for your feedback, it's great to hear you're still enjoying this terrific blend! If you would like we can email across the PDF version of the recipe card so that you can print this out, happy spicing!
Feeding twelve for the England semifinal. The vegetarian option. Carnivores can get a kebab on the way back from the pub.
Yum - looks like a terrific tagine! We're Shaw everyone will think this vibrant, vegetarian dish is a real winner!
Absolutely delicious spice well recommended
Thanks for your feedback, it's great to hear you're enjoying this terrific tagine!
Have made the vegetarian version three times now and it’s perfect every time! Even the meat eaters in my family absolutely love it. Very easy to make too!
It's great to hear that this terrific tagine is a real crowd-pleaser!
A nice fragrant tagine blend. It works beautifully with chicken thighs and apricots. However, I will play with the recipe by adding chickpeas and olives to add variety.
It's great to hear you're enjoying this terrific tagine - it sounds delicious with the chickpeas and olives!
Amazing added to my lamb tagiene love these spices
It's great to hear how much you love our tagine spices, thanks for your kind comments!
Made the Moroccan tagine with herb cous cous and harissa, using half chicken and half root veg. A really mild, but tasty tagine that was really easy to make.
This looks like a delicious tagine, Rachel - we're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it!
Since receiving a Tagine as a present I have been making a lot of tagines. I have used "One Pot Tagine", "Moroccan Tagine with Rose Petal Harissa" and also "Tagine Spices" from the Spicestore section. They are all equally brilliant. As I now have a Mezze Legend cookbook kit, my next tagine will be from it. I can't wait!
It's such a simple yet satisfying meal for those chilly nights - we're not surprised (but still very pleased to hear!) that this dish has become a staple for you - and how lovely to be able to cook it in a proper tagine, too! We hope you love the Mezze Legend version just as much!
Fantastic Tagine, so much flavour served with lemon & coriander cous cous
Great to hear how much you loved this flavourful tagine, Christopher!
I tried the free sample and would have rated 5 stars. We loved it so much. The smell, the flavour... But I am now very confused because I then ordered more (a 3 portion pack) and the experience was completely different. Is it the exact same blend as the free sample?? I have just used it (2 tablespoons as recommended) with a different meat and the smell was nowhere near the level it was last time and same with the flavour. Still nice but not what I expected after the free sample.
We're sorry to hear that you found your latest Tagine spices to be different to the free sample - these would have been exactly the same blends, so this is a bit of a mystery I'm afraid! If you drop us an email at hello@thespicery.com we can arrange to send you another sachet!
This is the best tagine spice mix I have ever tried.
Thanks for your wonderful feedback- this Tagine looks terrific!
Lovely spices. Poplar with all, even fussy 9 year-old !
Wow this looks like a terrific Tagine, glad everyone enjoyed this!
Oops, it’s all gone! Deliciously warming and we went all out on a Greek style feast with halloumi, falafels and home made pitta. Added extra dried apricots and went with lamb - a great flavour together.
YUM sounds like it was a delicious feast!
Really easy to make and very tasty. A nice bonus in our spice box!
Glad you enjoyed this terrific Tagine!
Amazing set of tagine spices! I was very excited to receive a free sample with my spice box and decided to cook up a lamb and apricot tagine. It was easy to make and used only one pan (plus one for rice- if you choose). It was absolutely delicious!
Looks delicious and only a couple of pans to wash up- it's a win-win all round!
Finally got to put our tagine to good use! We received the Lamb Tagine recipe as a freebie with our first subscription - it did not disappoint! So simple, but so delicious! Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow!!
Looks delicious and we love the beautiful tagine, brilliant!
The Moroccan Tagine recipe was super easy to follow & cook. The result was a delicious dinner we will definitely look to recreate again.
Great news, Jill! Happy spicing!
So delicious and fragrant! Yum !!
Wow, that is an impressive rice dome! Happy spicing!
I was quite impressed with this freebie! I made a sweet tasting curry, with again, a burst of flavours. My first time using dried fruit in a curry. Will certainly do so again! Very easy to make too.
Really pleased you enjoyed it!
