Kamouneh is a cherished Lebanese spice blend that adds warmth and depth to countless dishes. This aromatic mixture typically combines cumin, dried mint, caraway seeds, and salt, with regional variations sometimes including cinnamon, pepper, or dried thyme. Home cooks can use kamouneh to elevate simple bulgur wheat dishes (its traditional pairing), season roasted vegetables, or add complexity to soups and stews. 

The earthy, minty profile brings a distinctive Middle Eastern character to anything it touches. Look for kamouneh at specialty markets or easily make your own by toasting and grinding the spices for fresher flavor. A pinch transforms ordinary cooking into something truly special.
