How about espresso for breakfast? We aren’t talking about the drink, but perking up your breakfast treats: pancakes, waffles, French toast, etc. Out of all the recipes we prepared in celebration of this fun ingredient, we kept coming back to one thing: the incredible flavor combination of nuts and espresso. There’s something about the deep, dark, pleasantly bitter espresso that really strikes a chord with nutty flavors.

Secret Ingredient in Spicy, Savory Recipes
What you might not know about espresso is that it’s not just for desserts. Its deep, dark flavor profile is the perfect matchup to spices and fiery flavors. In particular, espresso seems to really shine alongside cumin, spicy chili peppers, paprika—even sweeter ingredients like brown sugar, cinnamon and molasses. Imagine all the possibilities! Use instant espresso powder to create coffee-infused meat rubs for pork, beef and poultry. Or try it as a brilliant balance to spicy, smoky and acidic flavors, like those of chili recipes, stews, sauces and bold salsa dips.
