Cloves are not the most popular spice in the kitchen, but their aromatic properties are simply amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is usually used for marinades or hot drinks such as mulled wine, but French cuisine has discovered a whole new use for it:  the clut\u00e9e onion<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method is especially useful in the fall and winter when fresh herbs are rare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloves in onions add rich flavor to dishes without the need for a lot of spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
