Baharat recipes
An all-purpose spice blend used in Middle Eastern cuisine, baharat gives food a smoky, sweet flavour. The blend varies from region to region, but always includes black peppercorns. It typically also includes a blend of some of these spices: cardamom, coriander, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, paprika, nutmeg and cumin. It is easy to make at home or can be purchased from Middle Eastern stores and some supermarkets.
