Spice 101
Baharat, a word that simply means "spice" in Arabic, is a warm and sweet aromatic blend that's a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine. Our Baharat mix includes a base of cumin, coriander, and black pepper, enhanced with the sweet notes of allspice, nutmeg, Indonesian cinnamon, and the sharpness of paprika, cloves, and cardamom. This salt-free blend is perfect for adding a rich depth to a variety of dishes, from lamb to lentils, without overpowering them.
In the Middle East, it is common for households to boast their own unique version of Baharat. Historically, these spice mixes were crafted to complement the local cuisine, seasoning everything from hearty stews to grilled meats. The blend's versatility and ability to marry well with different ingredients made it a cherished staple in spice pantries across the region.
Baharat is robust with nuanced taste that brings Middle Eastern flavors to our kitchens. It's our go-to for seasoning lamb and beef, but its versatility shines through when sprinkled on roasted vegetables or mixed into burger patties. Its rich, layered flavors enhance without dominating, making it a perfect companion for both simple and complex dishes.
Did you know that Baharat is not just limited to savory dishes? In some Middle Eastern desserts, a pinch of Baharat can be added to recipes to create a subtly spiced flavor that complements ingredients like dates and nuts.
