Warm the avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, baharat and salt and mix. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the barbaries and cook until the onion is caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile toast the almonds at 350°F/200°C preheated oven or toaster oven for 5 minutes. Chop them and set a side.
Chop the herbs and set a side.
If the basmati is cold, warm it up a bit then put in a salad bowl. Add the onions and herbs, drizzle olive oil and zest the lemon in. Toss and taste, correct seasoning if necessary. Serve as a salad or side. It’s delicious with harissa on the side.
