Memorial Weekend Recipe - Orange & Ale Vinaigrette

Posted by: Makebeer on 5/26/2011
I was thumbing through the most recent Food & Wine Magazine (June 2011) and the issue is packed with great beer articles.  My favorite was this recipe for Orange-and-Ale Vinaigrette.  I am going to use it in two ways- I am going to dress an Orzo salad with it and I am going to marinate some chicken in it for our Memorial day BBQ this Saturday.  Luckily I have a few bottles of an IPA we brewed that I was saving for a rainy day and since it almost always rains on Memorial Day weekend in the Pacific Northwest, it seems to have worked out in my favor!

Ingredients-
3 ounces of India Pale Ale (May I suggest the Coopers English IPA!)
1 tablespoon minced shallot (try and get one at a farmers market!)
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Wisk all of the ingredients above while adding 4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a stream, whisking constantly.  Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

"@max mcclain. The complete beer package that we sell that produces the highest alcohol percentage is the Complete Sparkling Ale package. The recipe about is also good one. You could also get the Australian Pale and use 1 can of unhopped light malt syrup and 500 grams of dextrose. Just to keep it simple." Read more ›

"@Bob I would force carbonate your beer instead of using the carbonation drops. How big is your keg? Standard Cornelius kegs are 5 gallons. This will leave about a gallon of extra beer to bottle. Use the carbonation drops in the bottles. If you want to naturally carb the beer in your keg, use about 1/4 cup of corn sugar (dextrose) boiled with a 1/4 cup of water. Add to keg first. Add the beer. Seal. Leave at room temperature for a week while the yeast produces CO2." Read more ›
