QUATRE ÉPICES (FOUR SPICES)



Quatre Épices (Four Spices) 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."

QUATRE ÉPICES - FRENCH FOUR SPICE MIX FROM THE AUBERGE



Quatre Épices - French Four Spice Mix from the Auberge image

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!

QUATRE EPICES (FOUR SPICES) GASCON



Quatre Epices (Four Spices) Gascon image

Quatre epices comes in many versions. This combination--with pepper, without allspice or coriander, is typical of Gascogny and is used in many dishes, especially in confit. I like to use whole spices and put them all in the grinder; the scent and the flavor is greatly enhanced. If you only have the pre-ground versions, then use them and it will be a delicious mix. The measures are a guide; feel free to adapt to your own taste.

Chicken Roasted with Cognac, Quatre Epices, and Strong Herbs image

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 RawSpiceBar's Quatre Epices
5 whole chicken legs, cut into thighs and drumsticks
4 shallots, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 About a dozen very small red-skin potatoes, halved
8 carrots, on the thin side, unskinned, cut into 1-inch or so lengths
3 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly smashed
1 About 1/4 cup cognac
1 Extra-virgin olive oil
1 About 1 tablespoon quatre epices (see note above)
8 big sprigs rosemary, the leaves chopped
10 big sprigs thyme, the leaves chopped
7 sage leaves, chopped
1 Salt
1 A drizzle of rice wine vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 2. Put all the ingredients in a big bowl, and toss very well. Make sure you add enough olive oil to coat well. 3. Spread everything out on a sheet pan, turning the chicken pieces skin side up. The ingredients can be jammed fairly closely, but if it all gets overcrowded, use two pans. Pour any remaining marinade over the top. 4. Roast, without turning anything, for about 20 to 25 minutes. The chicken should be sizzling and browned and the vegetables caramelized.
