C
offee is in everything, from sweet treats to savory foods, so consider
creating special dishes with the magical elixir. Just make sure you pick the
right kind for the recipe. Flavors can range from subtle to bold with hints of
wine, fruit, smoke, nuts, and other notes, so choose one that suits your tastes
and menu selections.
For instance, brewed coffee often works well for cooking, but sometimes
using ground coffee in aromatic rubs for grilling meats is a great choice, too,
adding coffee flavor without adding additional liquid. The powdered beans
caramelize, turning into a delicious crust that seals in the juices.
