Muscat – What is Coconut? Where to use?

Hello Dear Friends,

This week MahlebI wanted to share one of the most curious spices after muscat with you. Just like mahleb, I have been using nutmeg for years, but whenever I use it in a recipe, what is nutmeg?

nutmeg alias coconut The fruit of the nutmeg tree, which grows in tropical regions of Asia and America. In the name of nutmeg Although it is called, they do not have a similar side in terms of aroma or structure.

Muscat, which is slightly larger than an olive, has a very intense aroma. It is not so soft that you can beat it in a mortar and use it, so you should either have a fine-hole sharp grater or take it as ground. If you buy it ground, you should definitely store it in an airtight container, otherwise its aroma will quickly fade.

Muscat especially in potato dishes (potato gratin, mashed potatoes etc) very often, I think it adds flavor to the flavor of the potato. It also gives a pleasant aroma when used in meat dishes, sauces, egg dishes and cheese recipes.

béchamel sauce It is necessary to be careful when using nutmeg, which I often use in making, in recipes containing milk and cream, because if the spice is used too much, it can cause hallucinations. It has never happened to me, I haven't heard of it, but I thought it would be useful to write it. If you use it too much, you won't be able to understand anything from the food because of its dominant aroma, it is enough to give a tiny pinch of aroma.

Muscat, which I did not see much in the past, can now be easily found in the spice aisles of big markets. It is usually sold in small glass jars. You can also buy from herbalists. If you are starting to use it for the first time, 1 will be enough to try. one nutmeg When you use it by grating, you can add it to at least 8-10 dishes.

Love…
