Hawaij is a fragrant spice mix from Yemen and is used in stews and soups and as a spice rub for fish, seafood and meats. It makes a wonderful marinade base for a whole butterflied chicken, which you then roast until golden. I like to serve it with a fresh cucumber salad and some flatbread on the side.
