Note: Ras hanout or tebel are two different Tunisian spice blends.

If you do not find these at your local grocery store you can make your own by blending equal quantities of pepper (in the United States I would use a red pepper or cayenne), garlic powder, coriander and cumin.

Ras hanout adds a pinch of cinnamon and cloves to the mix.

You can do the blend to your own taste liking.
