Mace

How much powdered mace would equal one single strand of mace? Never cooked with it before -- recipe calls for a single strand and could only get powdered at the market. Thanks in advance.

One trick is to make the risotto in advance, allow it to cool, and then store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, gently reheat it on the stovetop while adding small amounts of warm broth to help bring it back to its original texture. It's not quite the same as freshly made risotto, but it can work well if done carefully.

If you’re having trouble with your Asus router not connecting to the internet, it can be quite frustrating, especially if you're unsure of the underlying cause. There are several common reasons why this issue might occur, but fortunately, there are troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve it. One of the first things to check is your internet connection. If your router isn't connecting to the internet, the issue could stem from a service disruption, a disconnected or faulty modem, or issues with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Begin by ensuring that the modem is powered on and connected properly to your Asus router. If the lights on your modem or router are blinking or showing any unusual patterns, it could indicate a connection issue. You can refer to asus router not connecting to internet for further details on how to troubleshoot and identify the root cause.

Hi Kristen,
I am Indian cook and make hundreds of recipes using mace. It is a strong Indian spice with strong flavour. I usually use it in this http://www.rachnas-kitchen.com/hyderabadi-chicken-biryani-recipe/
You can get info there.
Thanks

OK, good to know!

as you''ve already bought it, keep using the powdered mace. But fir those who don't have it, or don't love it, nutmeg makes a fine substitute.

Ok, well, a nutmeg nut is covered by threads of red mace. Your Indian-inspired cauliflower and potatoes with mace (and who knows what else) sounds lovely, and I hope you'll post the recipe here on at Food52.

P.S. I didn't actually know that mace was the thread that covers nutmeg!

Thanks! Here's the recipe: http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/aloo-gobi-curry-recipe/

I really don't know this blog, but I got have a cauliflower and some potatoes from the CSA to contend with, and a yen for an Indian preparation. Based on the ingredient list it looked to me like it should be good.

By the way, Kristen W., what are you making?
 
boulangere March 21, 2015
I would estimate about 1/8 teaspoon. The threads of mace that cover a nutmeg aren't all that substantial. Too, mace is very bitter, so a little bit goes a long way.
