I completely agree! My hubby got dead quail with Ras El Hanout Greek yogurt at a restaurant that he liked so much I wanted to recreate it with dead chicken. Amazingly, I found some in my spice box that I'd never used! Well, now I use it all the time when I just want to make something easy that I know will be liked. I just used some to spice potato wedges last night and it turned out nicely.
I've been cooking tagines (with an actual tagine) using Ras El Hanout for years. I've mentioned the recipes and ingredients on here before, usually with no interest. Chicken tagine is very good and has a wonderful aroma and flavor.
Well this must have been before my time. I will have to search your recipes out!
OK, maybe that's an overstatement but this spice mixture is amazing! ... I just made some fabulous vegetarian lentil/veggie soup and added some of this and BAM! It really tastes fabulous!
Thanks for the tip. I've never heard of this before, but what I know about North African cooking you could put in one of those tiny coffee cups they use. But I love lentil soup, so I will get some and try it in there.
You can also tickle your taste buds with the Ethiopian spice mix Berbere - it's quite flavorful and packs a bit of a punch on the scoville scale. Doro Wat is an Ethiopian chicken dish that is made with berbere.

I have berbere, and like it. But don't find the occasion to use it very often (and we like HOT). How different is this stuff from the berbere?

Now you're aroused my curiosity and I have to research this.
I'm guessing though that it's spicier or hotter, with that paprika and cayenne in it - is that so? Is it very hot, or more pungent than hot? I'm cool with either but I'd like to know your opinion!
The particular ras el hanout you get determines the flavor profile - the one I use has a richer flavor profile than berbere. You can also make your own ras el hanout, but there are an incredible number of variations (roasting the various spices sure makes for an incredible aroma).
Berbere typically has more heat than ras el hanout.

Sounds dang good to me - this spice is "in my Amazon cart" as we speak!
