Oh I think I would really love this! Thank you for this post.. yumm


The picture says it all - this looks amazing. Thank you for sharing it!


This looks wonderful! It's really the mint that intrigues me. That, and the deliciously tempting photo! What does Bhar Helou taste like? In Googling it, all I can find is that it is a spice made from sweet peppers. Is that what you use in making this dish, or do you use the allspice?


Super-flavourful!


Sounds great.


From what I can gather, Bhar Helou (aka bahar halu) is just the Arabic name for Allspice (see here for more details: http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Pime_dio.html). Its literal translation is "sweet pepper" (halu comes from the same root as "halwa"/"halva" & translates as "sweet"). Allspice is also called something similar to "sweet pepper" in several other languages.
