Do you use beer in your cooking? If so, would you mind sharing some interesting recipes with me?

Answer 1

I use cider - beer made of apple - to make Normandy sauce for my pan fried dory..

2 Dory fillets, skin on (or any white cold water fish)
2 tbs Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to season

SAUCE NORMANDY
30g butter
150g button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Zest of ¼ lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup dry cider
1/3 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons pure cream

Fish:
Heat a heavy based frying pan with olive oil until hot and just starting to smoke. Season the skin side only of each fish fillet with salt and pepper, and place skin side down in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until skin is crisp, turn over and cook to your liking.

The sauce
Heat half the butter in a saucepan, add mushrooms and fry until collapsed. Add parsley, lemon zest and juice and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Add cider and chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer; reduce by half then add cream and the remaining butter.

Serve with steamed potatoes and wilted spinach and a lemon wedge.

Yummm.. I love dory..

Answer 2

BEER CAN CHICKEN

1 4 lb or larger whole chicken
Emeril's Original Essence Seasoning
1 12 oz. can of beer, any brand

Remove giblet package from chicken and discard or save for another use.

Spread Emeril's Original Essence Seasoning liberally over chicken. Wrap chicken in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.

Preheat grill to 375°F to 400°F.

If your grill has two burners, heat only one. If it has three, heat the two on the outsides and do not turn on the middle burner.

Remove plastic wrap from chicken. Open beer can (you may add garlic to the can of beer if you wish) and insert the full beer can into the chicken (so that the chicken is standing upright with the can inserted into it).

Stand the chicken upright on the burner of the grill that is NOT lit. The beer can should fit snugly in the chicken so that the chicken does not fall over. Close the grill and cook the chicken for approximately 2 hours or until done.

Enjoy!

Answer 3

You can add beer to any pancake recipe - or replace part of the liquid ingredients.
You can add beer to some bread recipes too.
You can make Beer Batter for anything deep fried - you drege the items in crumbs, then dip into beer batter - throw in the frier. So good.

Answer 4

I like to cook my bratwursts and other sausages off the grill and into a pot of simmering beer and thinly sliced onions....The beer adds a great depth of flavor to the sausages......I also like to use beer in my tempura batter in place of club soda.....and in most batter recipes (think: fish and chips) Oh, and BTW, the guy with the Guinness Stout cake recipe, I've had that, and it's very good.....Enjoy

Subtitute beer for water (or milk) when making biscuits out of Bisquik baking mix. It makes light and fluffy and slightly tangy biscuits. This is an actually recipe I got off the box many years ago.

Answer 8

Easy. Get a large double pot and steam your crabs, using beer in the water. Add old bay seasoning to the crabs after they die, but are still cooking. I know it's bad, but that's the only way to get the best & freshest crabs.
