What is hawaij spice blend?
Hawaij is a staple in Yemeni cuisine, often used generously as a rub for grilled meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. It's also great sprinkled into soups, stews, sauces, and rice to enhance the flavors. But you can add a pinch just about anywhere it makes sense, use it for vegetable stews, chicken marinades, fish, and meat. Even for chicken wings with it.
Hawaij, also spelled hawayej (pronounced ha-why-adge) is a blend of spices from Yemen.
There are two types of hawaij, originating from Yemeni cuisine: savory hawaij l’marak or ‘hawaij for soup’, and another one is sweet hawaij l’cafe or ‘hawaij for coffee’.
The soup spice blend is also used in stews, rice dishes, vegetarian meals, and as a rub for barbecued meats.
The basic composition of this hawaij includes cumin, black pepper, turmeric, and cardamom. More complex variations may contain cloves, nutmeg, saffron, coriander, and dried onions.
