Baharat, Arabic for 'spices', refers to an all-purpose blend used in Middle Eastern cooking, with versions of baharat spanning the countries that border the Eastern Mediterranean, from Egypt to Lebanon and as far south as Ethiopia.
More mysterious and complex than its name suggests, this staple is well-balanced enough to complement its myriad culinary uses. Soft, warm and fragrant, use Saudi Baharat to give sweetness and depth to meat and vegetables.
