Experience the rich flavors and aromas that Moroccan cuisine offers via the earthy spices and tangy flavors the country is known for. Keep McCormick® Turmeric, Cumin and Cinnamon on hand to create North African meals whenever you’re inspired.

The traditional version of Spiced Chicken Tagine features chicken and vegetables bathed in Moroccan spices, stewed in a special tagine pot and finished with preserved lemons and olives for a tangy bite. With our everyday recipe, you can make this version right on the stove, using a bold blend of McCormick® spices to cut down on ingredients – not on flavor.
