Hand-blended in micro batches for optimal nutrients and bold taste, with smoked paprika, cumin, nutmeg, coarse black pepper, Ceylon cloves, cardamon, and red chili pepper. SALT FREE 2 ounces

Quick 15 minute recipe: in a bowl, add 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons of Baharat and 1 tablespoon of oil and mix together. Now add 4 pork chops, pork tenderloin or lamb chops to the marinade and make sure they are completely coated, flipping them over several times. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor. Make sure to bring your meat to room temperature prior to grilling or pan searing. To pan sear: over high heat put each chop in a hot skillet (almost smoking) and let cook for about 4 minutes (undisturbed) and then flip over and turn down flame to medium low. Immediately squeeze the juice of 1 lime, a teaspoon of butter, a sprinkle of Baharat and a tablespoon of water directly in the skillet. Now spoon the sauce over the chops as they cook for another 7 minutes. Be sure to spoon the sauce over the chops many times while cooking. The flavor is outstanding!

No time to marinate? Simply rub olive oil on your meat of choice and then liberally sprinkle this blend all over. Now pan sear, grill or roast....your choice! Just don't forget to add the lemon at the end and spoon over meat!

Quick recipe: Rub butterflied chicken (or cut-up pieces) with a mixture of 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and the juice of 2 lemons, mix together. Next add about 1 1/2 tablespoons of Ras el Hanout  and rub into chicken, let sit for 30 minutes. Light grill and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour (over direct heat for the first 5 minutes of cooking for grill marks, then move chicken to cooler side of the grill for even cooking) or until chicken is done, with a moderate temp of about 300 degrees. Once chicken is done, let it rest loosely covered for 10 minutes. Be sure to pour the juice from the pan all over the chicken before you sprinkle lemon zest. Sprinkle zest of 1 lemon and a handful of fresh mint leaves or coriander. Serve over rice, couscous or a bed of lettuce with lemon wedges.

Basting sauce - Juice of 1 lemon, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of Ras el Hanout and a pinch of salt. Baste chicken at least 3 times while cooking, every 15 minutes. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP THAT ADDS EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOR AND KEEPS THE CHICKEN DELICIOUSLY MOIST!
