Enjoy Me...
- A great way to serve them is in Moroccan tagine dishes where flavours like cinnamon can be twinned with apricot and chick peas to create a real taste sensation.
- Cloves have a strong bite to them, so go easy with them in recipes. If you want a better control over the flavour, try piercing an onion with whole cloves for soups and broths; remove after cooking. Or give your stuffing an update and add cloves, walnuts and raisins for a sweet remix.
- Eugenol, the chemical that accounts for the strong taste of the clove, also has a natural numbing effect. When used too liberally, the flavor can run rampant through a dish, so using them sparingly to balance out flavours is best.
How Interesting...
- Have a sore throat? That over-the-counter spray or mouth wash you’re gargling just may contain clove oil. Cloves and their oil are a source of eugenol, an anti-inflammatory compound that can leave a numbing sensation in the mouth. Eugenols also help to remove environmental pollutants from the body.
