brazen - this was a hit at my pot luck dinner party I went to tonight! I'm warning you though, be very careful not to pulse the salsa too many times, especially if you have soft feta.... it may look like something the cat brought up.

Amanda - I think that I cubed the feta and put it in at the end!

It is a blend of herbs and spices from the middle east or North America.  Probably can buy it under that name or just substitute it with Moroccan spice I guess.  Amanda may be able to answer this one better than me.

It is a blend of spice from the Middle East.  Ras el Hanout roughly translates to 'top of the shop', ie a favoured houseblend.
It is easily made from scratch - especially in the TM!  There are recipes in Claudia Rodens Middle East cookbook and also on www. recipezaar.  it can also be bought from "Herbies" online or at their shop in Sydney.
It is very fragrant and adds a wonderful flavour to lots of things that I use it in.
Please, please don't use a supermarket brand Moroccan mix - they seriously don't come close to the real thing and are not fresh enough.
