Quatre-Epices (French 4 Spice Blend)

Recipe Ingredients

5 teaspoons	25ml	Black peppercorns
2 teaspoons	10ml	Grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon	5ml	Doves
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dried ginger

Recipe Instructions

The standard French "four-spice" blend is based on pepper. It is commonly used in charcuterie and in dishes that need long simmering, such as stews. Sometimes cinnamon or allspice is used in the blend.

Grind all the ingredients to a fine powder. In an airtight container, the mixture will keep for 3-4 months.
