4 recipes to make with coffee
A steaming cup of coffee can turn any mundane day into a good one. So why not extend the ingredient’s influence into your other culinary explorations too?
Espresso, ristretto, cappucino, latte, iced coffee and that infamous flat white – humanity’s caffeined addiction has made an entire global industry out of a little dark bean. But the bittersweet ingredient shouldn’t be restricted to its steaming liquid form – coffee can turn many dishes into a complex, tender and flavourful affair.
What’s so cool about coffee?
Apart from adding wonderful depth of flavour and intensity to recipes, coffee is also packed with health benefits and tenderising properties. In moderation, the beans provide vitamins and antioxidants, plus mood-enhancing and energy boosting elements – enough of a kick to keep you going no matter what’s weighing you down. And most importantly, they’re delicious.
Why not experiment with a collection of our favourite coffee recipes from around the NEFF kitchen – sweet, savoury and somewhere in between:

Coffee-rubbed rib eye
In this impressive yet simple recipe, coffee grounds are combined with paprika, chilli, sugar and a mix of mustard, ginger and herbs to bring a layer of exotic complexity to the meat that will impress even the most sophisticated palate. The coffee also helps to tenderise the cut even further, making this a melt-in-your-mouth recipe that any home foodie should have up their sleeve.
