The word baharat means “spices” in Arabic and refers to a fragrant spice blend widely used across the Middle East and North Africa.
A versatile pantry staple, it is considered essential in many kitchens, particularly in Lebanese and broader Middle Eastern cuisine much like garam masala in Indian cooking.
The Spice People Baharat blend is crafted from 8 carefully selected spices, designed to stay true to its traditional character while offering a consistent, modern expression of this classic seasoning.
Meat cookery: Commonly rubbed onto lamb, beef, and chicken before grilling, roasting, or slow cooking. It’s especially used in kofta, kebabs, and spiced mince dishes.
Stews & braises: Added early in cooking to dishes like tomato-based meat stews, lentil dishes, and slow-simmered casseroles to build deep flavour.
Rice dishes: Mixed through pilafs and spiced rice, often paired with nuts, raisins, or caramelised onions.
Stuffed vegetables: Used in fillings for eggplant, capsicum, and zucchini mixed with rice or meat.
Soup bases: Added to broths and soups for warmth and aroma.
