Quatre `Epices
Wandering through my Fellowes Menumaker circa 1901, I find a vague reference to a spice blend used with rich foods, game like Deer, and charecuterie. As a history buff and a fresh spice enthusiast my wheels got turning. Stories of the French Legionaries’ and Parisian cafes with steaming dishes piqued my curiosity. As simple blend for seasoning new potatoes rolled in garlic butter, dusted on pommes frites, and liberally dusted on a pot roast. Adventure and high taste found in the repurposed coffee grinder.
- 2 tablespoon Whole Sarawak White Peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon smoked ginger
- 2 teaspoons cloves
Directions:
- Place in grinder.
- Pulse until powdered.
- Store in a glass jar.
