With Valentines Day upon us next week, I have turned my attention to a recipe for seduction. A more unusual ingredient with claims of aphrodisiac properties is nutmeg. I also thought it would be something a bit different from the usual Valentines Day inspired recipes.
Nutmeg can be used in sweet or savoury cooking. It is an essential part of a custard tart, but also compliments pumpkin or sweet potato dishes. I’ve partnered the nutmeg with other ingredients that are claimed to have aphrodisiac properties, including almonds, honey, cinnamon and ginger to create my Nutmeg Cake.
You could serve your nutmeg cake(s) with a lemon or lime drizzle icing, made by combining the zest and juice of a lemon or lime with icing sugar to create a paste. Other serving ideas include a warm chocolate sauce made by melting equal parts of dark chocolate and cream or sour cream over a low heat. Delicious served with some thick cream or vanilla ice-cream.
