Bahārāt is a spice mixture that is not only used in the Middle East, but also in other Arab cuisines, including North Africa.
Bahārāt is believed to have originated because the nomadic Bedouins supplemented their herbal mixture whenever they encountered new herbs and spices. As a result, there is not one Bahārāt, but many variants of this herbal mixture circulate in the Arab world, each with a slightly different 'touch', but based on the same ingredients. A related mixture is fulful bhrat used in the preparation of Kibbeh.
The mixture is peculiar to the entire Mashriq, which are the Arabic-speaking countries east of Libya, and to Turkish and Kurdish cuisine. Outside we see a simple bahārāt in Tunisia, one of the countries in the Maghreb, which consists only of dried rose buds, cinnamon and black pepper.
In Turkey, bahārāt is used to season kofte and pilafs, and mint is therefore added to it. Saffron and dried black lime (loomi) are also added in the countries bordering the Gulf of Persia.
In a Bahārāt the following ingredients are used:
- pul biber
- black pepper and/or
- long pepper
- coriander seed
- cloves
- pimento
- cinnamon
- green cardamom
- rose petals
