very clove-y, so it’s best on things that cook for a long time. so far, i love it in chili and sprinkled on chicken before it bakes. bet this would also be amazing mixed with brown sugar and paprika on ribs. it’s great in stews, like a chickpea stew, or anything with lentils. it’s also perfect on anything grilled, like eggplant or squash, or mixed into ground meat for burgers. it can be brushed onto flatbread dough with olive oil. what do you like to do with your baharat / bokharat?
