Baharat Organic Spice Mix

Baharat is a versatile spice blend used primarily in Arabic and Levantine cuisine. The name "baharat" simply means "spice" in Arabic, but the blend itself can vary slightly depending on the region. Baharat typically contains a combination of warm, aromatic, and slightly hot spices.

Our organic baharat is quite flexible and can be adapted to personal taste or the dish. Depending on the region, it may also contain other ingredients. Baharat is easily incorporated into many dishes, and it doesn't take much to intensify the flavor. It's best to add the mixture at the beginning of the cooking process so it has time to release its aromas.

How to cook with Baharat:

Meat dishes : Baharat is excellent for seasoning lamb, beef, or chicken. You can marinate the meat with it by mixing it with olive oil and lemon juice and letting it sit for a few hours. It also goes well with grilled or roasted meat.

Stews and Soups : The blend can be incorporated into soups or stews to add a deep, complex flavor base. Baharat's flavor is especially well-developed in lentil soups or chicken stews.

Rice dishes : Baharat is an excellent choice for seasoning rice dishes like pilaf or risotto. A teaspoon of baharat in the cooking water is often enough to add a new dimension to the rice.

Vegetable dishes : Vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, or carrots also taste great with baharat. You can roast or fry the vegetables and season them with a little baharat and olive oil.

Dips and sauces : Baharat can also be incorporated into yogurt dips or hummus for an additional flavor.
