Cooking with coffee......

[JCB123]

I think it was Floyd - in Morrocco, that cooked a tomato style dish with lamb (or similar) and coffee.....

Anyone recall what it was or where I could get a similar recipe....

I've heard rumours about putting it in a spag bol too. No thanks.

Why not?

large cup of espresso + top quality vanilla ice cream + spring of ground nuts + splash of your favourite liqueur =

Depends on whether you mean percolated coffee or just ground coffee ?

If its ground then a dry rub of Coffee and Ancho Chilli goes well on a steak.

A couple of spoonfulls of instant in a packet of pepper sauce, make it a bit different.

Adds something to a decent CcC (Chili con Carne). Try it.

Why? Have you ever heard an Italian mention putting coffee into a ragu?

It'd give it some depth anyway!

On that basis, there are Italians who will argue that spag bol shouldn't have garlic in it - or that it should have milk in it! What we in the UK eat has evolved into a dish in its own right, IMO. It isn't an authentic ragu how most people like it.

In the River Cottage Meat book, HFW suggests coffee as an ingredient for gravy (but not for pork).

I've heard that Italians traditionally don't have onions & garlic in the same dish?
Also heard they don't mix dairy & seafood, on the basis that fishermen were too busy on their boats to keep cows?
I may be misinformed
But ignore all that if you think it tastes good then eat what you want!

Try both, is lovely.

I usually add rum to my curry. Yum.


But coffee; err... no.
