Cloves |
||
 |
Origin: | Madagascar, Zanzibar, India, Sri Lanka, Spice Island |
| Description: | Clove is a dried, unopened flower bud that resembles a small, reddish brown nail. Cloves have a sweetly fiery taste that’s delicious in small quantities but medicinal if overdone. |
|
| Applications: | Cloves flavor fruit, sweetbreads, rice, meat stews and soups. They’re included in many spice mixtures. Cloves can easily overpower a dish, particularly when ground, so only a few need be used. They enjoy much popularity in North Africa and the Middle East where they are generally used for meat dishes, though rice is often aromatized with a few cloves. | |
