Ground cloves are finely milled dried flower buds with a smooth texture and rich, warm aroma that blends readily into meat dishes, spice mixes, baking and drinks, with only a small quantity needed to give a recipe their distinctive flavour.
- Meat and sauces: add a small pinch to meat marinades, beef gravy, stews or slow-cooked dishes, especially alongside cinnamon, ginger and black pepper
- Ras el hanout and spice blends: combine a small amount with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and pepper for aromatic blends used with tagines, couscous and meat
- Cakes and baked goods: mix it evenly with flour or sugar for cakes, biscuits, gingerbread and sweet loaves, where it pairs particularly well with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg
- Cooked fruits and preserves: stir a pinch into apples, pears, fruit compotes or preserves while cooking to distribute its flavour evenly
- Hot drinks: add a very small pinch to tea, coffee, hot chocolate or warm milk with cinnamon, cardamom or ginger
Begin with a small pinch or about ⅛ teaspoon for four portions, mix it with the other ground spices before adding it to meat, sauces or batters, use up to ¼ teaspoon in a standard cake or loaf, and increase gradually after tasting because its aroma is highly concentrated.
