I feel like baking stuff today.
Lessee,
Amaretto Oatmeal cookies (surplus groats in the house)
Wabbit cake, aka Amaretto Carrot cake (surplus carrots too)
Pizza dough - hmmm maybe splash some vermouth on there? (I'm not saying this is a good idea)
Might mesquite grill some flat bread too.
Bourbon-soy glazed chicken
(one day, Wild Turkey glazed Turkey and Cold Duck steeped Duck)
Crystal Lolly sips to stay lubricated.
bye

Baking with Booze
It's Immaterial - Life's hard and then you die

Cooking with booze is nice. I was staying at a friend's place a couple of weeks ago, and all we had was some onions and spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti and bake a couple of onions with a little olive oil. Put in some garlic, oregano, a little bit of sugar, vinegar and two shots of bourbon. Throw it on a plate together and have a couple of beers with it. Mint Juleps for desert. It's great.
Season and cook steaks in a pan. remove steaks. set aside. pour about a cup of your favorite bourbon, scotch or brandy in to pan to deglaze. Mix in sour cream ( I know it sounds weird) add lots of black pepper. keep adding sour cream until you reach a desired thickness, this is your sauce. The french call this Steak au Poivre.. they always use brandy. Its great try it. BTW if this sounds amazingly weird, Im a chef by trade. Enjoy!

I passed out when I was making chili this summer. Luckily I had a roommate then, so he turned off the gas.
I decided I should cook with booze then. The second I turn the gas off, though...

Beam Soaked Sot Burgers
Start with nice, fatty 75% ground beef. Soak raw patties in Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon for 1-2 hours in the 'fridge. Smack into hamburgler patties and fire 4 minutes per side on a HOT bed of hardwood charcoal. Searing and char are your friends.
Alternate Reality: What we likes to call the Juicy Lucy. Pummel Beam sotted burger into a twice thin patty. Stuff blue cheese or a nice English Cotswold centerwise. Fold patty over onto cheese. Grill.
Follow all meals with a love of strong, ardent spirits.

I approve of this behavior.
I generally cook with booze- there's always a glass in hand when the grill is going- but I'm nowhere near as good about it as Junegoddess. Then again, other than marinades, there's not too much you can likker up on grillable items. She's big on baking with Amaretto, coffee liqueur, hell even Triple Sec, and can always find an excuse to throw a splash of Wine into whatever's on the stove.
I drink the Bourbon and eat the food.
It's a symbiotic relationship like that.

Onions cooked on the BBQ always must be liberally splashed with beer...ahhh yummmm...
My Dad and I have a kick ass marinade for steak, chicken, whatever - we even marinate eggplant in it....you gotta use a good amount of red wine, mix in some honey, a bit of olive oil, chilli sauce and whatever herbs and spices you can find - bloody delicious!

I realize this recipe isn’t baked but it is the one time I really like Bourbon.
Bourbon Balls
21/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
1 c. finely chopped walnuts
3 tbls. Corn syrup
¼ c. Bourbon (Or to taste) (I suggest more Bourbon due to alcohol burns away when cooked)
Mix first four ingredients well.
Add syrup and Bourbon.
Too in powdered sugar.
Store in air-tight container. If there is any left.

I just watched this guy Blaine on FitTv make a chili with bourbon. Had to go online to get the recipe as it looked good. He said he got the idea at a bar that served a delicious chili so his credibility went way up.dead_uk wrote:We put beer in everything here at the flat.
Chilli is always made with bourbon.
