So it’s become habit to crack a beer as I cook. I know a lot of people drink wine, but I find there to be so many more flavor combinations with beer which make pairing it with meals more interesting.
For tonight’s dinner I drinking a Dragon’s Milk with vanilla and chai spices. The meal is a shallot fried chicken with fragrant blend of spices.
You may ask yourself that beer pairs well with a Italian inspired dish. It actually does because you get a nice bit of roasted notes from the beer. With the subtle sweet and complex spice finish it cuts through the pungent shallot, garlic, onion and smoky paprika flavors.
We blanched some fresh green beans and lightly toasted some bread to soak up the light sauce we made from deglazing the chicken pan with a bit of white wine and chicken stock.
We don’t really have a recipe for this meal as we tweak for what we have in the refrigerator. Sometime we throw corn into the mix other times we will toast broccoli. If I’m feeling festive we will toss in a good helping of red pepper flake to spice it up.
Ooh, I really like Chai tea. I am going to have to check this one out! That looks like the makings of a really awesome dinner. I love having a beer when I am grilling. There is just something about it that "fits".
Exactly I just picked up the newest Dragon’s milk release maybe I’ll do a post for beersaturday tonight or tomorrow.
Haha!
Getting a head start on #beersaturday! I am just looking over my pics to see what I will feature tomorrow.
Cooking with !BEER is legitness! Looks like an awesome recipe as well. Seems to be many beers featuring vanilla but chai spices? Good?
I can’t tell you how many pictures I have in my backlog right now! I need to be more consistent with my beer community post. After all you guys were my first friends here.
