Seeking Coffee Recipes!
I find myself with an abundance of coffee and I’m eager to find creative ways to use it. While I already have plenty of dessert ideas, I would love to explore some savory recipes as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Here are some savory recipe ideas that use coffee:
Coffee-Rubbed Steak: Create a dry rub with ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto your steak and let it marinate for a couple of hours before grilling or pan-searing for a flavorful crust.
Coffee-Braised Short Ribs: Brown short ribs in a pot, then deglaze with brewed coffee and add beef broth, onions, garlic, and herbs. Cover and braise in the oven until tender; serve with the delicious sauce.
Coffee BBQ Sauce: Combine brewed coffee with ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and spices to create a rich BBQ sauce. Use it for grilling meats or as a dip.
Coffee Chili: Add a cup of brewed coffee to your favorite chili recipe. It enhances the flavors and adds depth to the dish without making it taste like coffee.
Coffee and Mushroom Risotto: While making risotto, substitute some of the broth with brewed coffee to add an earthy flavor that pairs well with mushrooms.
Mocha Chili Rubbed Chicken: Mix finely ground coffee with cocoa powder, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture onto chicken thighs or breasts before grilling or roasting for a unique flavor twist.
Coffee-Infused Quinoa Salad: Cook quinoa in a mix of water and brewed coffee for a nutty flavor. Toss with roasted vegetables, black beans, and a light dressing for a hearty salad.
Coffee Lentil Stew: Add a splash of brewed coffee to a lentil stew for a rich and hearty flavor. It pairs well with carrots, celery, and spices.
Feel free to adjust amounts based on your taste preferences! Enjoy experimenting with these savory coffee recipes!
