This is the all-purpose warm spice blend of Middle Eastern and Levantine kitchens, sweet and savory at once, the kind of thing cooks start putting on everything. Rub it on chicken or short ribs, toss it with cauliflower and chickpeas before roasting, or stir it into rice and lentil stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaharat means \"spices\" in Arabic, and every region builds its own. Ours leans on black pepper from Tellicherry, warm cumin and coriander, paprika for color, and just enough clove and nutmeg to round it out without tipping into a medicinal, over-clove note. We stone-grind it fresh in small batches, because a premixed jar that has sat on a shelf loses the aromatic punch that makes this blend worth keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStone-ground, packed fresh.

Use it as a dry rub on meat, a roasting toss for vegetables, or a base for rice and stews. For meat, mixing it into yogurt with lemon and garlic makes a marinade that tenderizes and keeps the spices from scorching on a hot sear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it different from garam masala?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey overlap and substitute well for each other, both built on warm spices. Baharat leans more toward black pepper and a smoky sweetness, garam masala more toward the Indian aromatic profile.
