Aromatic seed used in cookery (6)

I believe the answer is:

nutmeg

(Other definitions for nutmeg that I've seen before include "Aromatic seed for grating" , "put the ball through" , "Hard aromatic seed" , "(In soccer) kick the ball between an opponent's legs" , "spicy stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
