At Crush, we’re crazy about coffee – not only do we love to drink it, we love baking and cooking with it too. There’s something about the earthy flavour that adds lovely toasted notes to a dish. Though coffee is often used in desserts, we think they belong in savoury dishes too. Here are a couple of our favourite coffee recipes.
Savoury with a Kick of Coffee
Marinating or dry-rubbing your proteins with coffee is a great way to add extra flavour and tenderise meats. If you use ground coffee for your morning fix, instead of throwing it out, store it in your spice cabinet and add it to these delicious dishes.
