Morrocan Stripped Bass

Recently I launched a line of custom made spices that are for sale at Dibruno Brothers in Philadelphia. You can get them at their stores in Rittenhouse or in the Italian market. This dish we used the Ras el Hanout spice that we make in house. It's a blend of hibiscus flower, Thai long pepper, rose hips, ceylon cinnamon and star anise, among other spices. We infuse the spice into yogurt and slowly add some good qulity extra virgin olive oil. Also we make a aromatic broth that is fortified with the stripper bones and the Ras el Hanout. A roasted eggplant puree and a few sweet bell peppers and fresh oregano and the dish was complete, funny how a dish that was meant for a wine tasting and wound up on the menu for a few weeks. The spice racks include six custom spices along with 2 recipes for each. The next few posts will be based on my spices and how to utilize them in your daily cooking at home as well as in your restaurant kitchens.
