Your spice cabinet is like a passport of sorts, allowing you to sample the flavors and ingredients of different cuisines and cook dishes from around the globe. As such, building a robust collection of both staple spices, and more underrated and unique ones is important. If you're shopping for new additions to step up your seasoning game, look no further than garam masala and ras el hanout. Although these spice mixes may have similar colors and ingredients, there are some major differences between the two that warrant adding both to your spice cabinet.

Although it sounds fancy, preserved lemons are just lemons that have been pickled with salt and a variety of spices. One of the best ways to use them is to cut them up and add them to the pan when you're sautéing greens, like kale, spinach, mustard greens, or broccoli. Throw some garlic and olive oil in there, and you'll have a delicious side dish that's bright, tart, and naturally salty.

This vegan scramble employs soft silken tofu instead of eggs, successfully retaining flavor. The choice of harissa (rose, apricot, or regular) adds a delightful sweetness.
