Four-spice is a ground spice mixture usually containing (white) pepper, nutmeg, cloves and ginger or cinnamon. In this recipe allspice is used instead of cinnamon or ginger.

2 tsp ground white pepper
2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cloves

Mix the ground spices and store in a tightly closed jar. Use to season pâtés, terrines and other meat and game dishes, like the Swedish Wallenberg steaks.
