Baharat rub

Baharat is a fragrant and flavorful spice blend commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine. This versatile rub combines a variety of spices to create a rich and complex taste that can elevate meats, vegetables, and more. With ingredients like paprika, cumin, coriander, and nutmeg, this Baharat rub is perfect for adding depth to your dishes.

Ingredients:

1 tsp paprika
5g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1 tsp dried coriander
5g
1 tsp allspice
5g
1 tsp cardamom
5g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g

Instructions:

1. Gather the Ingredients: Begin by assembling all the ingredients listed above. Make sure you have everything measured out accurately for the best flavor balance.
2. Combine the Spices: In a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon of paprika, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of dried coriander, 1 teaspoon of allspice, 1 teaspoon of cardamom, and 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
3. Mix Well: Use a spoon or a small whisk to thoroughly mix all the spices together. Ensure that they are evenly distributed for a well-balanced rub.
4. Store or Use Immediately: If you’re planning to use the Baharat rub right away, sprinkle it directly onto your choice of meat, vegetables, or even sprinkle a bit into your soups and stews. If storing for future use, transfer the spice mix into an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark place. This will help preserve its freshness and potency.
5. Apply the Rub: When using the Baharat rub, generously coat your meat (such as chicken, lamb, or beef) or vegetables. Massage the spices into the food to ensure it adheres well and the flavors penetrate.
6. Cook as Desired: Once your ingredients are coated with the Baharat rub, cook them according to your chosen recipe. Grilling, roasting, or slow-cooking are all excellent methods to bring out the vibrant flavors of the Baharat.

Tips:

- Toast whole spices before grinding to enhance their aroma and flavor.

- Store the Baharat rub in an airtight container to keep it fresh for a longer period.

- Use the rub generously on meats, vegetables, or even tofu for a bold and delicious taste.

- Experiment with adding the rub to soups, stews, or marinades for an extra layer of flavor.

- Adjust the proportions of the spices to suit your personal taste preferences.

Making your own Baharat rub is a simple yet effective way to bring the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine into your kitchen. With just a few spices, you can create a blend that adds depth and complexity to many dishes. Store it properly and don't be afraid to experiment with it in various recipes to find your favorite uses. Enjoy the aromatic and savory experience that Baharat brings to your cooking!
