“Make sure you buy the beef on the day you intend to make this dish – it must be impeccably fresh and really good quality,” says Hafner. “The Middle Eastern flavours here are inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi’s book Jerusalem, which I’m loving at the moment.” Baharat is an Arabic spice blend of mainly pepper, cumin, coriander, clove, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg.
