SAMIA Tajine Spice Blend flavours Moroccan slow-cooked dishes: lamb, chicken or vegetable tagine, and couscous. Its composition combines turmeric and salt with five other spices. 100 g bag.
What is this tajine spice blend?
A powdered seasoning from the SAMIA brand (Haudecœur group), made of turmeric, salt, coriander, cumin, ginger, black pepper and cinnamon, according to the label: seven ingredients, not fourteen as the name of a “14-spice” blend might suggest. Salt is the second ingredient on the list. The powder is fine, with a golden-brown to ochre colour.
How to use it?
Add the blend at the start of cooking, onto the browned meat or directly into the broth, for a lamb, chicken or vegetable tagine. Use one teaspoon to one tablespoon depending on the size of the dish, and taste before adding more salt: the blend already contains salt. It also flavours couscous or a slow-cooked sauce.
What to pair it with?
With SAMIA preserved lemons, essential for a chicken and olive tagine, or SAMIA ras el hanout to vary your Moroccan blends. The NKOSI blog's Moroccan tagine recipe details the cooking method, and the Moroccan and Maghreb cuisine department brings these products together.
