Moroccan Spice Blend & A Healthy Breakfast Hash Recipe

Moroccan Hash

This Moroccan spice blend was inspired my my honeymoon to Africa! I hope you love these bold, smoky flavors as much as I do. Make sure to try the healthy breakfast hash recipe using the blend – it makes a great dinner too!

Brook and I were looking through our honeymoon pictures recently and I was reminded that I owe you an African-inspired recipe! Today, I am sharing a Moroccan spice blend and healthy breakfast hash recipe that were inspired by my new Namibian cookbook. The flavors used in the blend draw heavily from Morocco, and will conjure up scenes of Bogie and Bacall in Casablanca. For me, these flavors will always remind me of the magical honeymoon Brook and I shared in Africa.

You are going to love the versatility of this rich, earthy, smoky, touch-of-sweetness spice blend. Try using it as:

  1. a rub for grilled meats like grass-fed steaks or lamb chops.
  2. flavoring for roasted veggies like winter squash or potatoes or carrots
  3. a marinade for chicken (whisk together 2T spice blend + ½c oil + juice of 2-3 lemons)

I’ve been using this blend in my morning hash recipes. One of my favorites, featuring lamb, sweet potato and swiss chard, is below. Such a great way to kick off your day!

 

Bonus tip: The hash (lamb & veggies) can be made ahead of time and reheated in the morning. I like to make mine on Prep Day over the weekend and then top it with an egg the morning. Keeps me fueled until lunch time!
