BAHARAT
Baharat is a spice mix used throughout the Arab world to season everything from lentils to meat. There are many variations; this recipe is from my grandmother. It is best to buy all the spices whole and grind them yourself for extra flavor.

HARARAT VERSION 1 - LIBYAN SPICE BLEND
This is a common seasoning in Libya. I was surprised that there isn't a recipe for it on zaar (though it could have another name...I'm certainly no expert). I found this recipe online (http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/miscellaneous/fetch-recipe.php?rid=misc-hararat). I must admit that I have never made this before - and that this particular recipe is a bit annoying as you have to grind everything in a spice/coffee grinder or I suppose a mortar and pestle if you're ambitious. I am posting a different version that uses pre-ground spices. Feel free to multiply this recipe to make any amount you wish.

Steps:
- Heat a nonstick frying pan to medium heat (do NOT add oil) and add your spices.
- Stir constantly until the aroma intensifies. Depending on how hot your pan is this could take a few minutes - just don't let them burn.
- Add to spice grinder/coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder.
- Store in an airtight container.
HARARAT VERSION 2 - LIBYAN SPICE BLEND
This is another hararat recipe. I found this online as well (http://morselsandmusings.blogspot.com/2008/03/sharba-libiya.html - this website has a lovely looking soup recipe accompanying the spice blend). This one is easier to make than version 1, because the spices are already ground, thus you don't need a spice or coffee grinder. The spices are dry fried or toasted to release the flavours! Be sure NOT to add any oil.
