Seeking Coffee-Based Recipes
I’ve found myself with a surplus of coffee and I’m eager to explore some recipes to make use of it. While I already have plenty of dessert ideas in mind, I’d love to focus on savory options if you have any. Any suggestions you can share would be greatly appreciated!
Here are some savory recipes that make great use of coffee:
Coffee-Rubbed Steak: Create a dry rub using ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub it all over your steak and let it marinate for a few hours before grilling or pan-searing for a deliciously smoky flavor.
Coffee-Braised Pork: Use brewed coffee as the braising liquid for pork shoulder. Combine it with onions, garlic, and spices like cumin and chili powder for a rich, hearty dish. Cook low and slow until the meat is tender.
Mushroom Coffee Risotto: Stir brewed coffee into your risotto for a unique twist. Cook Arborio rice with broth, and near the end of cooking, add sautéed mushrooms and a splash of coffee for an earthy depth.
Coffee Chili: Enhance your chili by adding a cup of brewed coffee to the pot. It adds richness and complexity, balancing out the spices nicely. Combine with ground beef or turkey, beans, tomatoes, and your favorite chili spices.
Coffee Balsamic Vinaigrette: Blend brewed coffee with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and a touch of honey for a delicious salad dressing that pairs well with greens and roasted vegetables.
Egg Coffee Sauce: Whisk together brewed coffee, egg yolks, and Parmesan cheese to create a unique sauce for pasta or drizzled over grilled vegetables. It adds a creamy texture with a hint of coffee flavor.
Coffee and Soy Glazed Vegetables: Mix brewed coffee with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger to create a glaze for stir-fried vegetables. This sweet and savory combination can elevate your favorite veggies.
Feel free to mix and match or modify these ideas based on what you have at home. Enjoy experimenting with your surplus coffee!
