Baharat (pronounced ba-har-ot) means “spices” in Arabic – and that’s exactly what it is: a versatile mix of warm spices used commonly in Arabic cuisine. My baharat seasoning blend includes nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, cayenne, smoked paprika, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and black peppercorns. You can read more about this warm and fragrant Middle Eastern spice in this Tasting Jerusalem post. You can make your own baharat or find it at a local Middle Eastern market or purchase it online from your favorite spice vendor. If you want to make this Romano peppers recipe and don’t have Baharat, just combine as many of the baharat spices as you have on hand and let your nose guide you. If you like the way it smells, it will taste great in the stuffing mixture.
