This authentic Yemeni spice rub, traditionally known as Hawayij, is a fragrant and versatile blend that brings an incredible depth of flavour to Middle Eastern cooking. By toasting whole caraway, cumin and cardamom seeds before grinding, you release the essential oils, resulting in a much more punchy and aromatic profile than shop-bought alternatives. The warm, earthy notes are balanced by the floral heat of black peppercorns and the vibrant golden hue of turmeric.
As a naturally low-sugar and dairy-free condiment, this rub is a healthy way to season roasted meats, slow-cooked tagines or even simple roasted cauliflower. It is particularly effective as a dry marinade for lamb or added to soups for a comforting, savoury kick. Prepare a batch in advance and keep it in your larder to elevate your everyday midweek meals with minimal effort.
