Homemade Moroccan Spice Blend

This Moroccan spice mix is perfect for marinating, coating or rubbing. Although you could just go out and buy premixed spices from your local store, making them yourself will give you a much nicer flavor, and the comfort that you will not be consuming all sorts of preservatives, sugar, and anti-caking agents.
