BAHARAT

Lebanese seven spice blend, also known as baharat ("spices" in Arabic), is a classic Middle Eastern blend made with warm spices, including allspice, cumin, cloves and coriander. Different regions within Lebanon have their own recipes and ratios, with some using other spices such as white pepper, fenugreek and/or paprika. Seven spice is what lends distinctive flavor to regional dishes, notably kebabs, koftas and dolmas. You can also use it to flavor meat, vegetables and rice.

Baharat Aka Middle East Mixed Spices - the Real Mix image

For anyone who desires an authentic taste of the mid east. This recipe was learned by watching a good friend of mine in Jordan when she was grinding her family's monthly supply.

Provided by alAmira

Categories     Georgian

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup whole black peppercorn
1/4 cup whole coriander seed
1/4 cup cassia or 1/4 cup cinnamon bark
1/4 cup whole cloves
1/3 cup cumin seed
2 teaspoons whole cardamom seeds
4 whole whole nutmegs
1/2 cup ground paprika

Steps:

  • Basically, just place all the spices except the paprika and nutmeg in a blender or adequate grinder and process until it becomes a powder.
  • If necessary you can grind 1/2 cup at a time.
  • Grate the nutmeg and blend this with the paprika into the spices.
  • Store in an airtight jar.
  • Generally in some areas, they lightly toast the spices in an oven to bring out more flavor.
  • You can gain this also by putting the amount you're going to use, on a hot dry frypan and toast it for a few seconds before using.
  • This not only makes the kitchen smell good, but brings out a richer flavor of any spice.
  • *Note* You can also use ground spices, but using them whole is the authentic way.
  • Four nutmegs come to about 1/4 cup ground.
  • Be careful how much nutmeg you use; it's toxic in large doses.

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes

Time 20m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground star anise
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
1 pound chicken tenders
1 pinch ground sea salt, to taste
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup sliced red onion

Steps:

  • Combine sweet paprika, pepper, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, star anise, and nutmeg in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Place chicken tenders on a plate and sprinkle one side with 2 teaspoons of the spice blend. Season with sea salt to taste. Turn tenders and sprinkle the other side with an additional 2 teaspoons of the spice blend; add salt to taste. Store remaining spice blend in an airtight container and reserve for another use.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour in olive oil once skillet is hot and heat until it shimmers. Carefully place chicken tenders into skillet one at a time, making sure they don't touch each other. Cook for 4 1/2 minutes, turn, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 1/2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add onion to the same skillet and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove onion slices and drain on paper towel-lined plate. Serve onions with chicken.

BAHARAT BLEND



Baharat Blend image

In Arabic, the term "baharat" simply means "spices" and can refer to any number of different blends, each tailored to a specific dish or ingredients. This all-purpose blend, adapted from Freda Nokaly and Doaa Elkady of Spice Tree Organics, reflects the women's Egyptian ancestry, highlighting a combination of musky cumin and floral, citrusy coriander that's been sweetened with an aromatic mix of cinnamon, cardamom and clove, and spiked with black pepper and bay leaf. Unlike some other baharat blends, this version doesn't call for first toasting the spices, giving it a subtle but distinct brightness. Use it in meatballs and pilafs, in marinade and sauces for grilled meats and fish, and in rice dishes.
