Quatre Épices (Four Spices) Recipe - Food.com image

Based on a recipe from Simply French, the cookbook where Patricia Wells presents the cuisine of Joël Robuchon. Per the introduction, “Quatre épices, literally 'four spices,' is a classic French mixture designed to season terrines of pork or duck liver. Use the best-quality spices you can find, and grind them yourself in a spice or coffee mill. I generally prepare only the amount I will need for each terrine.”

Categories     Dessert

Total Time 75 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 eggs, weigh them including the shells (mine came to 210g)
Flour, same weight as eggs (210g)
Butter, same weight as eggs (210g)
Sugar, same weight as eggs (210g)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Grease a 20 x 10 x 6 cm loaf pan (8 x 4 x 2 1/2 in.) with butter and flour.
  • Melt the butter in a bain-marie or in a bowl in the microwave. Set aside and let cool while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Separate the yolks from the egg whites.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar and salt until the mixture becomes pale and light.
  • Pour the melted butter and the vanilla extract into the yolk mixture and gently fold in with a rubber spatula until combined.
  • Add the flour to the yolk mixture, again folding gently just until combined. Set aside while preparing the egg whites.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Start testing after 2-3 minutes to be careful not to over-beat. You know the mixture is done when a peak holds on the whisk when held up. If you over-beat the whites, the stretched proteins break and let water out, resulting in a bowl of watery liquid and foam.
  • Form the batter: Add the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture, folding very gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 180°C for 45-55 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool for at least 20 minutes before removing from the tin.

QUATRE ÉPICES - FOOD.COM - RECIPES, FOOD IDEAS AND VIDEOS
The literal translation of quatre épices is four spices; however, quatre épices rarely contains JUST four spices, but can have anything up to five or six spices in the mixture! This is my own version of quatre épices, a spice mixture that I find invaluable in the French kitchen, especially for charcuterie such as terrines, pates, sausages and rillettes. This spice mix is also that quintessential ingredient when added to deep, dark slow cooked beef and game dishes, especially when they contain wine. There is a school of thought that suggests the need for a "sweet" quatre épices spice mix as well a "savoury" quatre épices spice mix; I have never bothered to deviate from this basic recipe, which is equally delicious in savoury dishes (as mentioned above), and when used with moderation in sweet puddings, rich cakes and biscuits. My recipe contains five spices and will keep for a several weeks in an airtight tin or jar. This spice mix also makes a thoughtful gift for a foodie friend or host and hostess!

  • NB: If you are REALLY concerned about using this mix in sweet cooking, the white peppercorns can be substituted for the same amount of allspice berries!
