Cooking with Beer

Thanks Karadekoolaid, sounds great . I love a dip and anything snacky

The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is a variation on pork and cider casserole. Pastries and cakes don't require much liquid, but I think malt itself is now available if that might be akin to, or be recognised as being a flavour in, some fermented flavours.

For a course, if it relies on artisanal beers which might not be "in a supermarket near you", could it help if your recipes can also be made with white/red wine, sherry or other spirit as appropriate to give the course broader appeal?

tempura batter with beer instead of water in mix

Ohh……. Noooooooooooooooo………... just so ............Nooooooooooooooo

We wants the crispiness...………………....beer batter just doesn't do it...!!

OH, who brews his own beer asks innocently why anyone would want to make bread with leftover yeast - when you can make more beer with it

Lush - the beer batter works when the beer is FLAT. A Chippie friend of mine said that putting fizzy beer in the batter simply makes it absorb all the oil in the little air pockets. So I made it, and left it for an hour.

Gill - dunno about ginger beer, but my first thought would be something oriental. Thai? Indonesian? Vietnamese?

Jeral - the whole point of cooking with beer... is NOT cooking with wine. Wine used to be cheap here - now it costs an arm and a leg. And casseroles are out, I´m afraid. No such thing as a casserole over ´ere in the tropics; meat tends to be grilled, flash-fried or eaten raw!

There were some recipes in the S magazine from June 9. From generro contaldo. One I want to do is patate Alla birra moretti. if I am not here, I figure Thanksgiving or Christmas lunch. If plans change, then Easter lunch. The recipe got my curiosity,

That's a good find of a recipe, Mark.

Stir fry lamb, with ginger and spring onion? https://youtu.be/jMOTCH4dxhQ
He uses wine and sugar twice, once in the marinade, once in the stir fry. You could use a splosh of ginger beer.

Gill, that reminds me of the time that I made Dan Lepard's English Ale and Potato sourdough bread. The addition of the ale made it very lively! I loved those experimental days!

KK thanks so much for those wonderful idea! So much more imaginative than simple cheese on toast.

that Moretti potato recipe looks good, Mark. Thanks for the link!

Now all I need to do is find the beer in this part of the US

[smitch Profile]

Honestly any malty tasting beer would be fine. Really not worth tracking town Moretti, it’s not a great beer.

[karadekoolaid Profile]

Quite agree, Smitch. One of those beers ( Corona, Coors, Millers, Heineken, Carlsberg, etc) I could do without.
Mark - you´d probably do better with a local IPA - low on the hops!

Good finds, Mark. Thank you.

Renee, we were indeed experimental back in those days.
There are so few food forum sites now, that I know of anyway.

There aren’t , I don’t really know any apart from WF and here . I think Instagram and Twitter are to blame , but I think re cooking , you miss out on the interesting conversations and feelings of community you get from a forum . Plus on a forum, it’s easy to search conversations new and old to refer or add to . Not the same on Twitter feeds
