"Cooking with beer
Father’s Day and beer – the two seem to go hand-in-hand. They conjure up images of Dad barbecuing in the backyard with a nearby brew, serving the dual purpose of quenching thirst and extinguishing rogue flare-ups on the grill.
In honour of Father’s Day on June 20th, here’s our salute to Dads everywhere with quick & easy recipes using (what else?) beer.
Caramelized Beer Onions are a unique and delectable topping for thinly sliced beef-on-a-bun (with the beef prepared a day ahead), peameal bacon sandwiches, or any burger.
Flavour accents of orange rind and coriander in Wheat Beer-Steamed Mussels (seen in image above) are perfect for dining al fresco on an early summer’s eve. If serving as a main course, plan on one pound (500 g) of mussels per person and accompany with plenty of crusty bread for dipping.
Feeling adventurous? Beer-Battered Pickerel with oven-baked Sweet Potato Fries with Curry Mayonnaise are a homestyle spin on fish and chips. Or try our quick & easy Crunchy Oven-“Fried” Fish Fillets, a kid-friendly dish that gets its crispy coating from a well-known breakfast cereal.
As an appetizer, Cheddar Beer Spread is highly addictive. Serve with sturdy crackers, flatbreads or on sliced and toasted baguette, and accompany with red grapes or sliced apples.
It’s not beer, it doesn’t even resemble beer, but if you have yet to try nonalcoholic and homemade Ginger Beer, I highly recommend it. You’ll have to make the recipe a day before serving to allow the flavours to develop, so while it’s not quickest of recipes, it is certainly easy to prepare. And though it’s fantastic as is, it can also be the base of a refreshing cocktail, the Ginger Beer Shandy.
This summer, try a local beer or two. There are some fantastic ones to be had, including a few of my current faves here in Ontario, such as Muskoka Cottage Brewery’s Dark Ale from Bracebridge, F&M Brewery’s Stone Hammer Maple Red Ale from Guelph, and Toronto’s Mill Street Brewery’s Belgian Style Wit Beer -- perfect with aforementioned mussels. Explore and support your local microbreweries’ offerings – plus, they make a great gift for Dad."
