  it's a mix of black pepper, coriander, ginger, paprika, allspice, cardamom, mace, nutmeg, tumeric, cayenne, cloves and rose petals. That's the ingredients on the label of a jar of Bart's Ras el hanout! I've just made this and it's in the oven so can't yet let you know what it tastes like

  I've been wanting to make this since I got the recipe from June '07 issue. I've finally found Bart's Ras el-Hanout spice from Tesco's last weekend and made this last night. It turned out superb, especially with that hint of lemon mixed with the juices from the bird. However, I would increase the measurement to 2 tablespoon of the spice, instead of teaspoon, as it is actually quite mild and subtle. How did you get on with yours, Suma?

  Made in the romertopf and put potatoes underneath it was excellent.

  I thought this was nice but nothing more. I also increased the spice and served with a salad and garlic and chilli roasties. I might make again but not in a major hurry.
