Although I have made it very clear that I love coffee and that I do not believe there is any harm in drinking coffee frequently (without going over board) I still want to make one last thing clear: Coffee is so much more than just a drink! Coffee can also be a great cooking ingredient! Even to those who may not love coffeee as much as I do, slipping it into a favorite recipe, such has waffles or cinnamon buns, can make a whole world of a difference!
I really like to cook and try new foods,which is why I am so excited about cooking with coffee in particular and want to pass on what I have learned to you. I really urge coffee drinkers to begin to find new ways to insert coffee into their daily lives, broading their horizon when it comes to foods and recipes, as well as better-enjoying something that they already love.
I came across a particularly interesting article entitled "Cooking with Coffee" in with coffee was used as a dry rub for a steak. I never would have thought to use coffee as a way to preapare meats. Combined with ground coffee beans and spices, it's a really smart idea. It can also be used as a marinade for meats as well when added with espresso, soy sauce, brown shugar and a few other spices.
My favorite coffee recipes are of course are the sweets! And my absolute favorite would have to be waffles. I have had a few different types of waffles that were made with coffee and have loved them all. I discovered an additonal recipe online in an article called "5 Delicious Reipes Containing Antioxidant-Rich Coffee," which I recommend for everyone to try called cocoa-espresso waffles! This recipe is amazing and is really something that even the most modest of coffee drinkers will thouroughly enjoy! Good Luck!
