Nutmeg Recipes
Nutmeg evokes the exotic-and the familiar with sweet and savory recipes from the article Sweetness and Light in the December issue of SAVEUR.
Nutmeg Cake
While nutmeg adds a subtle note to many desserts, it claims center stage in this traditional spiced Armenian cake. We based this recipe on one in A World of Cake by Krystina Castella (Storey Publishing, 2010). See the Nutmeg Cake Recipe
Malfatti (Ricotta and Swiss Chard Dumplings)
Chef Anna Klinger of Al Di La in Brooklyn, New York, flavors these dumplings with nutmeg. For the best results, drain the ricotta overnight and squeeze all the moisture out of the Swiss chard. See the recipe for Ricotta and Swiss Chard Dumplings»
Nutmeg Ice Cream
Serve this spiced ice cream on its own or scooped on top of warm fruit crisps, cobblers, or pies, particularly apple.
Cayo Romano Cocktail
Freshly grated nutmeg rounds out the flavor of this shaken rum-and-citrus juice cocktail. Get the recipe for Cayo Romano Cocktail »
