Add a little Middle Eastern magic to your meals with this simple yet flavourful Lebanese 7 Spice Mix! A perfect blend of warm spices like cinnamon, cumin, and cloves, this mix can be sprinkled on everything from roasted veggies to meats or even added to your favourite stews. It’s easy to make, and once you’ve got it in your pantry, you’ll be reaching for it again and again!
Lebanese 7 Spice Mix is a staple in Middle Eastern cooking, known for its aromatic blend of warm and earthy spices. Traditionally, this mix was crafted by families who wanted to enhance the flavour of their dishes with a signature blend passed down through generations.
To keep your Lebanese 7 Spice Mix fresh and full of flavour, store it in an airtight container or jar in a cool, dark place, like a pantry or cupboard. Avoid keeping it near heat sources, as that can affect the potency of the spices. The mix will last for several months, but for the best taste, try to use it within 2-3 months, as ground spices lose their freshness over time.
Lebanese 7 Spice Mix is perfect for adding a burst of flavour to your meals. Try it with grilled meats like shawarma, kafta’s, or even roasted chicken. It’s also great on roasted vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower. For a quick, flavourful addition to your meals, sprinkle it over popcorn or use it to season your fries for a unique twist. If you’re in the mood for a cozy stew or tagine, this mix will blend beautifully with the rich flavours of slow-cooked dishes. You’ll love how it transforms everyday ingredients into something special!
