Lahmacun {Baharat Lamb Flatbread}

It’s official, I have full-blown travel fever. Ben and I have been looking into planning a trip to Germany for a while now, and it has gotten to me. I have been glued to my computer for two days researching and checking prices on all the places we are planning to go. All we need is approval from our bosses to book our tickets for next August/September!

This travel fever has seeped into my kitchen as well, thanks to Raw Spice Bar. They have sent me some spice packages to try out and I am OBSESSED! Each month, they send you 3 spice packets and recipes to use each one. This recipe came from their Turkish-themed month. Baharat is a staple in Turkish cuisine, meaning “spices” in Arabic. It is use in practically anything and consists of coriander, cumin, black peppercorn, sweet paprika and warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, and cloves.

I am always trying to discover new foods and recipes to try, and Raw Spice Bar makes it super easy. Each month they have a different cuisine theme for the box. Stay tuned for some Malaysian recipes from their spices soon!
