1. a refreshing salad with a coffee vinaigrette
Coffee in a salad? Never heard of that before? But don't worry, just give it a try - a flavour explosion guaranteed!

You will need the following ingredients:

• Lettuce (lettuce, lollo rosso etc.)
• Lamb's lettuce
• 1 Orange
• 1 ripe mango
• Mozzarella
• Coconut chips
• 1 strong, cold espresso (of the coffees, the "Impressa" is ideal, as it has a very strong flavour and is perfect as a strong espresso).
• Curry powder
• Salt and pepper

Wash the lettuce, peel the mango and cut into small cubes. Drain the mozzarella and also cut into cubes. Squeeze the orange and mix the juice with the espresso. Add salt, pepper and curry powder and mix everything well again. Then pour everything over the salad and mix well with the dressing. Finally, garnish with the coconut chips - bon appétit!

 

2. coffee-pumpkin soup
I'm sure you've never had a soup with these flavours before. And we don't mean just any ingredients, but ground coffee beans.

You will need the following:

• 1 Hokkaido pumpkin, diced
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 chopped carrots
• Butter
• Water
• 40 g ground coffee beans (we recommend the "Cafe Creme" coffee variety, as its mild blend harmonises perfectly with the other ingredients)
• 1 litre vegetable stock
• 100 ml cream
• some pumpkin seed oil

Sauté the onion in butter and then add the carrots and ground beans. Leave everything to sweat for about 5 minutes. Now cook the pumpkin in the vegetable stock and puree it when it is ready. Then mix the pumpkin with the carrots, bring everything to the boil briefly and refine with the cream. Serve the soup with a little pumpkin seed oil and coffee powder - enjoy!

 

3. steak with a special crust
Coffee and meat - partners for highly explosive flavour. Get high quality beef steaks, because only the best is good enough for you! The ingredients are calculated for 2 people and the recipe is also suitable for novice cooks:

• 2 beef steaks

For the crust you need:

• 2 tsp coffee powder (try the strong "Riguardo", you'll see it works!)
• 2 tbsp hot paprika
• 5 tsp brown sugar
• Oregano

• Salt

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Salt the steaks and rub them with the "spice mixture". Then place the meat in the fridge and leave to marinate. Then bring the meat back to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Fry the steaks on both sides in a roasting tin to get a crispy crust. Then place this roasting tin in the oven and cook for between 5 and 10 minutes. Then enjoy the flavour in combination with the meat.
