How to Make Moroccan Spice Rub For Lamb Other Meat

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste). Mix thoroughly.
  2. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the surface of your meat.
  3. Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic and rub it over the spiced meat. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. For best results, allow the meat to come to room temperature before cooking. Store leftover spice rub in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months.
