Spice – Name of a greek spice that sounds like “bakari”

So far, the best reference I found is Wikipedia.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) has the following varieties:

• Black pepper
• White pepper
• Green pepper
• Orange pepper and red pepper

Cubeb (Piper cubeba), or tailed pepper

Long pepper (Piper longum)

Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum)

Pink peppercorn (Schinus molle, Schinus terebinthifolius)

The primary flavors of Greek meats are lemon, oregano, and olive oil. Typically either (or both) thyme and mint are present as well. I'd start with the following base for a marinade:

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (2-ish lemons)
• 2 Tbsp oregano
• 1.5 tsp thyme
• 1.5 tsp mint

I'd also suggest adding some garlic and onion to this. Maybe 1/2 an onion and 4 cloves of garlic. Adding a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of red wine could add some depth as well (I'm assuming lamb or steak, use white for pork or chicken).

A good soak in this overnight, perhaps with some tweaks, should equate to Greek kebabs.

Other herbs & spices common in Greek cuisine include: marjoram, paprika (sweet & hot), and pepper. You can also find, in small quantities: cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, anise, coriander, fennel, and allspice.
