Hawaij is known for its warm, earthy flavor and aroma, with a slight smokiness and a touch of sweetness.

All Purpose Hawaiian Marinade image

I originally concocted this recipe for a party I hostessed. I used it on chicken thighs and legs, but since then, I've tried it beef and pork, as well. I also think it would be awesome on tuna steaks or shrimp! I've also used Pineapple Coconut Juice and it's EXCELLENT. Enough for 3 lbs meat of choice.

HAWAIJ -- HAWAYEJ -- HAWAIEGE -- YEMENI SPICE MIXTURE



Hawaij -- Hawayej -- Hawaiege -- Yemeni Spice Mixture image

There's a history lesson in this spice blend: Yemen and India were stops on the ancient trade route, so this turmeric-based mix bears a resemblance to some Indian masalas. Hawaij is used extensively by Yemenite Jews in Israel and its use has spread more widely into Israeli cuisine as a result. The basic mixture for soup is also used in stews, curry-style dishes, rice and vegetables dishes and even as a barbecue rub.
