Coffee Concentrate

I found this on the Taste of Home web site Bulliten Board. Thought it sounded very interesting. I'll have to try it sometime.


Coffee Concentrate

7 – 8 cups COLD water
1 pound coffee, any grind
For filtering, you should have:
Large receptacle
Strainer
2-4 layers coffee paper filters (Mr. Coffee/basket-style
filters work best)*
Put coffee and water into stainless steel or glass bowl; cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Line a strainer with coffee filters. In batches, use a ladle to put grounds and water into the lined strainer, discarding grounds (and filter papers, if needed) in about 10 minutes and reline and refill. It will take about three fillings of the strainer before you are finished. You will end up with 28 – 32 ounces of concentrate. Pour concentrate into any capable 1-quart container with lid and store in refrigerator. To reconstitute, use 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of the concentrate (or the amount according to personal taste) per 8 ounces of boiling water. *If using cone coffee filters, keep them flat, and shape and overlap them to line the strainer, making sure to completely cover all the mesh.

Add to that:
1 1/2 lbs beef
2 TBSP fat(butter or lard)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp thyme

Mix all with a wooden spoon until very well incorporated. Form into six 3/4 inch patties. Cover with wax paper until ready to use.

Just before sauteing, roll patties in 1/2 flour on a plate, and shake excess off.

Place 1 TBSP butter and 1 TBSP EVOO in a skillet or two. Saute meat for about 3 min. each side. Makes med-well burgers!
