Baharat<\/strong> is one of those spice blends<\/strong> for which it was not so easy to create a recipe.\nI consulted my family, did some research and tried it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I want to give a dish the spice of the Levant, I always fall back on a handful of spices that I often use anyway.\nFor me, these were the basis to which I added a few more flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is baharat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Baharat spice<\/strong> is an Arabic spice mixture, also known as Lebanese spice<\/strong> or 7 spice<\/strong>, because it usually consists of 7 different spices. Translated from Arabic, baharat<\/em> means spice<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to curry, Chinese 5 Spice or Ras el Hanout, there<\/strong> is no<\/strong> standard mixture.\nEvery mixture is different because every family has its own recipe.\nThe same applies to the manufacturers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside ras el hanout, dukkah<\/a> and za’atar<\/a>, baharat 7 spice<\/strong> is one of the most important spice blends in the Levant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the Arabic spice mix taste like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The aroma of the blend is slightly spicy<\/strong>, strong<\/strong> and has a warm<\/strong> note.\nIt goes perfectly with fish, meat and vegetables.\nThe flavors are particularly effective in stews or marinades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you smell it, the fragrance immediately transports you to the spicy cuisine of the Levant – try it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which spices are used in the spice mix?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During my research and consultation with my family, I came across different spices for the Seven Spice<\/strong>.\nHowever, there are a handful of spices that are found in almost every blend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cumin, coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and cloves are found in most dishes.\nThen add<\/strong> or replace<\/strong> as desired, e.g. with pepper, ginger, paprika, turmeric or cardamom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
