We are heading into one of my favorite times of the year..... St. Patrick's Day! There is just something special about all of the Irish inspired meals, I just can't get enough. One of my favorites, is this thick, sweet and tangy Guinness Glaze.....
No, I still do not drink Guinness, but I love cooking with it! When Bennigans left Cedar Rapids, I could no longer get my favorite Guinness Burger.....the horror!! So I set out to recreate my own Guinness Glaze at home. Let me tell you, that was a pretty simple task, there are only 3 ingredients in this sweet and tangy sauce.....
I have made it with Extra Stout as well as Draught, and I personally prefer Extra Stout. It gives it a deeper, richer flavor.
How to make Guinness Glaze:
Place all of your ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil.....
Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes, or until reduced by about half.....
It will still appear very thin, don't worry, it thickens a bit as it cools.....
Notes:
- Be careful not to whisk too vigorously. Glaze bubbles up quite high, so stir gently.
- Pour into a container and keep in the refrigerator.
- This glaze is amazing on salmon, chicken, burgers and grilled shrimp!
This glaze is perfect on burgers, just take a look at these Guinness Burgers with bacon, cheddar cheese, and onion rings.....
Mission accomplished!! It is also quite delicious on Guinness Glazed Salmon with Mashed Potatoes.....
I have also used this glaze on shrimp at a St. Patrick's Day party, but they were gone before any photos could be taken! 🙂
Enjoy!
