Hawaij is a Yemeni spice blend. We’ve added salt and a touch of sugar to balance the fragrant spices. Use to garnish a creamy pumpkin or cauliflower soup, or sprinkle it onto roasted sweet potatoes. The flavors also work nicely with grilled or roasted lamb.

Ingredients
  • 1

    tablespoon kosher salt

  • 1

    tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted and crushed

  • teaspoons ground turmeric

  • 1

    teaspoon white sugar

  • ½

    teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½

    teaspoon ground cloves

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir together or rub with your fingers until well mixed.
