Osmanli baharati - the Ottoman spice blend - is the all-purpose seasoning you will find next to the stove in Turkish home kitchens. This 160g pack comes from Tugba Kuruyemis, a Turkish nuts-and-spice house founded in Aydin in 1980 that has grown into stores across Turkey.
What is in it: red pepper flakes (pul biber), cumin, sumac, coriander, black pepper, marjoram, and salt. That exact list, nothing else - no garlic, no fillers, no anti-caking agents. Pul biber brings gentle, fruity heat rather than a sharp burn; cumin and coriander add the warm, earthy base; sumac gives a lemony tang you will not find in standard chili or steak rubs; marjoram finishes it with a soft herbal note.
How to use it: rub it on chicken, lamb, or beef before grilling - this is the flavor profile behind Turkish kebabs and kofte. Knead a tablespoon into ground meat for meatballs or burgers. Toss it with potatoes, cauliflower, or eggplant before roasting. Stir a pinch into rice, lentil soup, or scrambled eggs. Sprinkle it over fries, popcorn, or labneh with olive oil. One blend covers what would otherwise take six separate spice jars.
If you know paprika or chili flakes: think of this as a complete seasoning rather than a single note - heat, citrus, earth, and herbs already balanced in one spoon.
Produced and packed in Turkey under the Turkish Food Codex Spice Communique. Store sealed in a cool, dry place. 160g resealable pack - enough for weeks of daily cooking.
