Let's take the Tsiknopeptis table to the extreme, with five imaginative recipes.
Tsiknopepti is one of the most beloved Greek holidays. Not only because it has fun, music and lots of food (and what food: grilled meat!) but also because it's also an opportunity for friends to come together and have a good time, eating, drinking, singing and dancing.
As coffee lovers, how do we contribute to the Tsiknopepti table? Sure, we can make digestive espressos, but also a coffee-flavored dessert, such as Tiramisu, which fits like a glove with the fatty flavors of Tsiknopemti. But, without a doubt, we can also take the dinner table a step further, leaving our fellow diners speechless, with recipes that have... the aroma of coffee!
Pork and chicken with coffee marinade, barbecue sauce accompanying pork and sausages with... coffee, Coffee Curry, but also a dark beer with a coffee twist promise an unforgettable Friday. Enjoy!
Five Recipes for Black Friday with coffee flavor
Coffee BBQ Sauce: No meat table is complete if it is not accompanied by the relevant sauces! Traditional tzatziki, spicy cheese, mustard - ketchup that are not missing anywhere... and of course, a BBQ Sauce. Not just any BBQ Sauce, but a homemade BBQ Sauce, to which coffee gives a special, smoky aroma and a unique taste that remains unforgettable.
Coffee-Crusted Pork: Sausages, fries and the rest of the appetizers are good, but every meat-eating table also needs a main course, rich and hearty, which will be the star of the table. Pork shoulder, slow-cooked in the oven, with a coffee crust that takes the flavor a step further, which can be eaten as is or in a sandwich, like pulled pork. See the recipe here.
Crispy Chicken Wings with Coffee Marinade: For anyone who decides to celebrate more... American, chicken wings are a must for a proper table! These combine all the classic spices of the American South, together with ground coffee, which gives a unique result, full of deep deliciousness. See the recipe here.
Exotic Chicken Coffee Curry: For those who want a meaty recipe but prefer stewed, saucy foods, an exotic Coffee Curry brings a taste of India – and with it, a delightful note of coffee, which is among the spices in this imaginative curry. . See the recipe here.
Cold Brew and Black Beer in a Back In Black: Roasts and meatballs need beers, and for the more adventurous, black beers! When dark beer is combined with Cold Brew coffee, we have Back In Black, an original cocktail that can perfectly accompany a table with fatty meats, such as that of Tsiknopempti. See the recipe here.
Whatever we choose, traditional or modern, classic or original, with or without coffee, we must not forget the key ingredient for a successful Tsiknopettis table: good mood and good company!
