Hawaj, also known as Hawaij, Hawayej or Hawayij, is a well-rounded Middle Eastern spice mix. It contains cumin, cardamom and coriander, which give it a rustic, earthy flavour with tart, peppery notes. Hawaj is mainly used across Yemen and Israel within savoury cooking and certain sweet bakes.
The Hawaij spice blend has a long history throughout the Yemeni and Jewish Yemeni communities, who consider it an integral part of their culinary heritage. The spice mix is passed down through generations and used in plenty of traditional family recipes.
The term “Hawaij” comes from the Arabic word “hawayij,” which means “mixture” or “blending.” It refers to the combination of spices that make up the blend.
Within Middle Eastern cuisine, you will find Hawaj in soups, vegetable dishes and rubbed onto meat before grilling. A sweet version of this blend can be used in baked goods like a moist carrot cake.
