"Baharat" is the word for "spices" in Arabic, which seems not especially helpful at first. But if you're cooking Middle Eastern recipes, you'll encounter this all-purpose blend over and over again. Are you an Ottolenghi fan? This is one of his pantry staples.

Ingredients: Nutmeg, black pepper, coriander seed, cumin seed, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, paprika, chile.

Please note: Our spices are packed by volume. Exact weights may vary.
