What is Baharat Spice Mix?
I'm sure most of you who are familiar with my recipes know that I love spices. I don't just love them in that I use them a lot but, I love using them correctly and getting the most out of them.
The perfect seasoning used correctly can make for such a delicious dish that it blows your mind and you'll be just as obsessed with spices as I am.
This 7 Spice Blend is also known as a Lebanese 7 Spice mix. It's a spice mix that's bursting with flavor.
This mix has cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, fenugreek, allspice, pepper, and cloves. I know a lot of these seasonings are found more commonly in desserts however, with this specific mixture, this spice blend works amazingly in many dishes including meat dishes.
What Is In 7 Spice Blend | Baharat Spice Mix?
Most of the spices used in these 7 Spice Blend or Baharat Spice are pretty popular. However, not many are familiar with fenugreek, what it tastes like, how it looks, etc.
This is a leafy plant that is most commonly found in Asia. Before its ground, fenugreek almost has the appearance of being small chunks of pretzel only maybe a little lighter.
When ground, it's a lightly colored powder. Fenugreek has an almost vanilla-like flavor, being only lightly sweet with a nutty resonance.
Although this 7 Spice Blend would definitely go well in recipes such as breads, cakes, etc. it also goes really well with dishes such as Eastern meatloaf or as a meat rub.
