Baharat is the name of a spice blend used in Persian Gulf and Levantine cuisines, combining spices such as black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and cumin. It adds a warm, deep flavor to meat, pilaf, and stuffed dishes. Although the Arabic word generally means “spices,” it is also the name of this particular blend.
Where It’s Used
