Baharat means spices in Arabic, and this wonderfully complex blend has a unique balance of spicy flavors. Savory and slightly sweet, with a lingering heat, this can be an all-purpose blend with a definite Middle Eastern twist.
Baharat blend is often used in the Persian Gulf area to add spice and a little heat to ground meat dishes, couscous, vegetables & vegetable stuffing, and Tunisian egg tagines. The sublty exotic flavors of this blend are wonderful for MedRim style cooking, and an easy way to spice up simple dishes like rice and meatballs.
Hand mixed from: Tellicherry black pepper, coriander, cumin, Ceylon select cloves, Saigon cinnamon, cardamom, Spanish paprika and Chinese Tien Tsin chile peppers.
As the days grow short, some faces grow long. But not mine. Every autumn, when the wind turns cold and darkness comes early, I am suddenly happy. It's time to start making soup again.
