Steve Morrisey’s Spent Grain Bread

 

When you make all grain beer save the grain. Use sandwich size zip lock bags.

Fill up 3 or 4 bags. Then freeze them until you bake bread.

 

2 cups Spent Grain (put the grain in a coffee grinder or food processor and grind them up)

4 cups Bread Flour

1 cup Wheat Flour

1 1/2 tsp. Salt

1/4 cup of Sugar

1/2 Stick of Butter

1 Egg (Beaten)

2 cup of Warm Water

1 TBS. of Olive Oil

1/2 cup of warm water & 2 1/4 tsp. Bread yeast

Mix together and knead with 1 more cup of flour.

Let rise and flatten down divide into 2 or 4 pc. Depends on how big you want your bread loafs or roll little balls to make rolls. Freeze the rest and take out when you want more bread.

Let it rise again and bake.

Bake at 350F for 35 min. for loafs or 10-12 min. for rolls.

Use corn meal on cookie sheet so loaf does not stick to pan.

1 tsp. Olive Oil to brush the top of the bread when it comes out of the oven.

I made it for approximately 16 servings, so most would want to cut in about 1/4.

4 cups uncooked long-grain rice

1/4-cup (or less) olive oil

4 cups chopped onion

4 heaping tablespoons bottled minced garlic

4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces

3 tablespoons curry powder

4 teaspoons dried thyme

2 teaspoons allspice

2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper

4 tablespoons crushed red pepper (to taste) (hot chilies are best)

16 oz oatmeal stout

1/2-cup capers

4 - 15oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained

4 - 15 oz cans diced tomatoes

Salt to taste

Marinate chicken for 4 hours in beer and spices.

Prepare rice according to package.

Heat oil and add onion and garlic and sauté until tender. Spoon chicken out of marinade and add to pan with onion and garlic and sauté for about 10 minutes or until chicken is mostly cooked. Stir in marinade, capers, beans and tomatoes. Simmer until done. Add more stout if more liquid is desired. Serve over rice.
