Tabil, Tunisian Spice Blend

Tabil (pronounced like “table”) means seasoning in Tunisian Arabic. This widely-loved Tunisian spice blend, also recognized as Tabil, is a staple in most kitchens, with a history that traces back to the late 1400s. Comprising coriander seeds as its foundation, the versatile Tunisian spice blend, Tabil recipe, adds distinctive accents to numerous Tunisian dishes. While you can come across this spice mix in stores, we highly recommend concocting your own Tabil with fresh ingredients. Indeed, most spices unveil richer flavors when freshly blended. Wondering what is in the Tunisian spice blend? The authentic flavor and aroma of Tabil shine through best when crafted with a blend of versatile Tunisian spice blend ingredients, ensuring optimum freshness when used within a month or two.
