Delicious Choices In Coffee Cuisine

By: Chuggin McCoffee Home | Food-and-Drink | Cooking


To some people, coffee may be the fuel that they need to start their day, but to many others, it is becoming so much more in the form of gourmet coffee cuisine. Recent studies have shown that regular coffee drinking provides numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk for heart disease, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. In fact, regularly drinking coffee split up throughout the day will improve cognitive abilities, concentration, and memory!

In addition to all of these wonderful benefits, coffee is still the most popular beverage worldwide, and it is the second most exported commodity next to oil. Many top chefs are beginning to use coffee as a premium ingredient in main dishes, spice rubs, sauces, and other creations. The addition of coffee or espresso to your regular cuisine will add depth to salmon, chicken, pasta, and even desserts! If you feel like taking your cooking to the next level, coffee within your recipes can provide a rich aroma and deeper flavor profile for a number of dishes, no matter what they may be.

As an example, here are several premium coffee cuisine recipes to provide health benefits from your daily cup of Joe. However, it is still recommended to have up to 4 cups of coffee a day to receive maximum health benefits, so consider pairing any of these meals with a delicious coffee drink. On top of that, coffee also boasts high levels of antioxidants, even more so than green tea. This is the opportunity to protect your body from premature age and disease by consuming and cooking with a beverage that contains antioxidants to neutralize free radical damage within the body.

If you are in the mood for Thai food, then why not try Thai Chicken Satays spiced with coffee? This is both a sweet and spicy dish, and it uses wonderful coffee flavors that perfectly pair with the taste of peanut butter with the dish. This type of cuisine can be prepared with beef, pork, or lamb instead of chicken, and the marinade will include coffee grounds, peanut oil, soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, fresh ginger, curry powder, and red chilies. Use these ingredients to marinate the protein overnight in the refrigerator as a way to use coffee to enhance the flavor of the dish!

An example of a delicious pasta dish enhanced with coffee is tortellini made with coffee creole cream, shrimp, and broccoli. Tortellini is the perfect pasta to pair with broccoli and shrimp, but does it bode well with coffee in the cuisine? You may be surprised at how wonderfully the flavors meld together in this decadent dish! The tortellini can be cooked as directed, and the coffee sauce will be made of olive oil, green onions, minced garlic, Cajun spices, coffee grounds, tomato paste, heavy cream, salt, and Romano cheese. These ingredients together form a coffee sauce to be mixed with the pasta, sauted broccoli, and sauted shrimp.


It truly doesn't get any more delicious than that when it comes to coffee cuisine!
