Nutmeg Recipes
Pauline Said:
does anybody have some good sweet potato recipes WITHOUT nutmeg?We Answered:
I only make them once a year for Thanksgiving. I invite lots of people over and each year, they rave over my sweet potatos.I make them similar to mashed potatoes but with lots of cream, butter and brown sugar (a LOT). Then I take more brown sugar and butter, melt them in a pan and add pecans. Put the potatos in a oven-safe bowl and add the candied pecans on top. Cover and bake in the oven until warm.

I'm making an apple pie and I don't have any nutmeg, can I substitute ground allspice instead?We Answered:
Personally I use cinnamon for my apple pies. I don't remember the exact recipe but peel the apples, slice em thin, then mix with a bit of flour and sugar. Its really quite easy.Three apples might be a little short, but you can always make a thinner pie. Otherwise do you have any strawberries, blue/rasp/black berries, cranberries, raisins or (long-shot) rhubarb? That would add some volume.
For a top crust, if you don't have enough pie crust, make a crumb topping with oatmeal, flour, white or brown sugar, butter, and optionally chopped nuts.

What are some short recipes that use nutmeg in them?We Answered:
Anything--anything at all--that you make with spinach (or even with spinach-based ingredients. like spinach tortellini) will be way better with a tiny pinch of nutmeg added. Even though you can barely taste the nutmeg, it makes a big difference. Here are two ways to try it out:--Saute 2 10-ounce bags of baby spinach in 2 tablespoons of butter until limp but still bright green. Squeeze the spinach between paper towels to get rid of excess moisture.
--In same pan, heat about a teaspoon of butter until foamy, then add one smashed-up garlis clove, cook and stir it until it's toasty brown, then throw it away. Add 1/2 cup cream and let it cook down, stirring, until it starts to get thick, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan, a pinch of nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
--Put into a lightly greased baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes. then uncover and bake for 10 or 15 more, until hot.
Or...
--Bring a big pot of salted water to the boil over high heat. Add spinach tortellini (or fettuccine) and cook until al dente.
--Meanwhile, heat about a tablespoon of butter and fry about a dozen medium-sized cremini or button mushrooms and one clove of pressed or minced garlic until mushrooms are limp and golden. Turn down the heat a little bit. Put in one cup of heavy cream, a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
--Stir until thickened and bubbly. Toss with the hot pasta and serve with grated Parmesan. I had this at a restaurant a long time ago where it was called "fettuccine alla domenicana". I'm not sure how "traditional" a pasta dish it is, but it definitely tasted good! Just don't forget the nutmeg.... :)

of course, but you'll want to use a little more than if it was freshly grated.Emma Said:
