Nutmeg is spicy and sweet and therefore lends itself to savory and sweet dishes. Add to bechamel, gratins, squash purees, and sautéed greens like spinach or swiss chard. Use with game dishes like a lamb curry. Nutmeg complements allspice, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, and cardamom. You’ll find it in pumpkin and apple pies, egg nogs, bourbon cocktails, and spiced cakes.
