I cook with #beer, sometimes I even add it to the food
(Been a while since I've had any Chimay)
A bit of dark ale being poured from the bottle into a pot with softened chopped onions and celery and thin sliced garlic in butter
A bottle of Belgian Chimay blue label grande réserve Trappist ale, next to a tulip shaped goblet filled with dark beer
And a relatively light lunch today - simple ale steamed mussels.
Butter, bay leaf, sweat to soften (not brown) chopped white onion, then liced celery and garlic, thyme, ale - bring to a boil, add mussels, mix, cover 5 mins, mix, cover 5 mins, mix, remove mussels from pot, stir whisk in dijon mustard + sour cream + cream, thicken , add back mussels, mix, touch lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley. 😘
Warm bread to sop it up!
