As you sip your hot and steaming mug of Costa Rican coffee, think about what else those finely ground coffee beans are good for. It's no secret that cooking and coffee are two of my passions. That's why I also run a second Cookin' with Coffee blog that features some of my favorite recipes which incorporate my favorite brewed java juice or coffee grounds.
If you're not familiar with using coffee in your recipes, consider that it is a great ingredient for things like chili, cakes, breads, stews, candy and even for main entrees. I recently served a Mahogany Glazed Chicken that uses brewed coffee, molasses and some other unexpected ingredients to create a sensational and savory main course. I'm also fond of a coffee rub that makes the best tasting maple glazed pork ribs I've ever tasted!
Is your mouth watering yet?
As a former gourmet chef, I love experimenting with new dishes, and trying those that others come up with. As the owner of Brown and Jenkins coffee roastery, I also encourage the innovation of our local and online customers to come up with original uses for gourmet coffee.
So, if you can come up with a great original recipe, send it in! I'll post in on the Cookin' with Coffee blog, and send you a free bag of some great tasting gourmet coffee beans. Take a look at the recipe for Coffee and Pepper Crusted Vermont Steaks that was sent in by local marketing guru Julie Andrews. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
