Enjoy Global Flavors With Homemade Spice Blends from Around the World

This easy flatbread takes a shortcut using prepared pizza dough, but gets a big flavor boost from the dukkah spice blend and a chevre-yogurt dip. "Dukkah is a versatile and popular Egyptian condiment. Dip, spread, and sprinkle dukkah to take flatbread to the next level." —Juliana Hale

Add dukkah to chicken breasts on a bed of lettuces in an orange-honey vinaigrette, topped with fried eggs. Dukkah lends a hint of crunch and smoky, nutty flavor.

Baharat is an all-purpose seasoning blend made of several spices (most of which you probably already have in your cabinet). In the Middle East, baharat is added to just about every dish — from beef kebabs and salmon cakes to vegetable and rice dishes — to enhance flavor. Stir it into yogurt or mayo as a savory dip for sweet potato fries. Happily, a little of this aromatic blend goes a long way.

"Baharat seasoning gives traditional salmon cakes a delicious Middle Eastern spin," says Juliana Hale. "If desired, serve salmon cakes atop fresh greens."

"Baharat, an all-purpose Middle Eastern seasoning, shines in these beef kebabs. Paired with pomegranate couscous and an irresistible feta sauce, this dish brings a taste of the Middle East to your dinner table," says Juliana Hale.

If you like sriracha, you’ll love harissa (hah-REE-suh), the North African red pepper sauce, which typically includes hot chiles, garlic, cumin, coriander, and caraway. In his recipe, Chef John uses fresh Fresno and habanero chile peppers. Stirred into hummus or guacamole, slathered on chicken, or spread on a sandwich, harissa adds depth and kick.

"Upgrade your grilled cheese with Halloumi. Then add the heat with North African harissa," says Juliana Hale. "You could also grill these on an indoor grill pan over medium heat."

"Spice up chicken dinners with a touch of harissa. The North African red pepper sauce adds depth and kick to this one-pan meal perfect for weeknights," says Juliana Hale.
