Baharat - a mid east spice mix

Baharat is a spice used in quite a few Middle Eastern Dishes.  The depth of flavour it adds to meat, vegetables and even rice is beautiful

It is a simple mix and can be made and kept in an airtight container for a couple of months.



Baharat

Ingredients

1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon whole cloves
½ teaspoon cardamom seeds
1½ tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
