Baharat Arabic Spice Mix 75g

description

Baharat is a complex blend of spices that originated in the Middle East and plays a central role in many Arabic and Turkish dishes. Its taste is a sophisticated combination of spicy, sweet and earthy flavors that are equally convincing in hot and cold dishes. Typical ingredients include cumin, paprika, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, cardamom and sometimes dried rose petals. This mixture provides an unmistakable depth and aroma that enhances every dish.

Baharat was already appreciated in ancient times and played an important role in the history of trade between the Arab world and the West. The mixture was used in the cuisine of the great empires of the Middle East over 2000 years ago. Especially in the Middle Ages, baharat was an important part of the spice trade and found its way into the culinary traditions of the Arab world.

Today, baharat is an indispensable spice in the cuisine of many Middle Eastern countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey. The mixture goes perfectly with meat dishes such as kebabs, lamb or poultry, but also with stews, rice dishes and vegetable preparations. The aroma unfolds particularly well in stews or marinades, where the spices can slowly soak into the meat.

As well as being used in hot dishes, baharat is also ideal for cold dishes. In dressings for salads, as a seasoning in yoghurt sauces or in dips, it adds an exciting component that enriches the taste in a completely new way. Baharat is also an aromatic addition to many dishes when combined with fresh herbs or tahini.

Baharat is therefore not only a versatile spice for the kitchen, but also an exotic ingredient that adds a special touch to every dish and every cup of coffee. Whether for an intense lamb dish, a spicy vegetable curry or an aromatic mocha - baharat is the key to a very special taste experience.

But baharat has another very special use: it is also a popular spice for mocha, which is known as baharat coffee in many Arab countries. The spicy taste of baharat goes perfectly with the strong note of mocha and gives it an interesting depth. This combination is a real highlight and makes for an authentic Arabic coffee ritual.

Our tip: Add half a level teaspoon of baharat to your coffee and enjoy the unique aroma of Arabic flair in every cup.
