Last night I made the Ale-Braised Cabbage with Leeks, and this was also a winner. Especially with tasty seitan patties on the side. I still have plenty of beer in the fridge so maybe I'll try the black bean chili next.

Cooking with Beer
I'm not a huge beer drinker but I do like to toss back a cold one now and then. I think it's fun to cook with alcohol too, so when I saw the article on cooking with beer in the latest issue of Vegetarian Times I made it a point to try some of the recipes (4 of the 5 recipes are vegan too - bonus!). Plus this gave me an excuse to pick up a variety pack of local brew. A few days ago I made the Tempeh in Hearty Mushroom-Lager Sauce. It was simple to make and tasted amazing. Basically it's a mix of button and shiitake mushrooms simmered in beer with fried tempeh added at the end. We had it over red quinoa with some nice chard on the side (that I also simmered in beer).

You need to start posting recipes! I have a pretty good and unique chili with beer in it that I just made tonight:

These recipes look good! I think beer is the "it" ingredient this year.
I know Jon... I'm just too lazy to re-type them.
Both of those look delicious.
Yum!! I've never cooked with beer, I'm going to have to give this a try.
mmmmm
Cooking with beer is the best thing ever! I love beer beans, beer bread, beer chili, you name it. I accidentally let my VT subscription lag, but I'll have to physically buy that issue!
I don't like beer on it's own, but I love it in cooking. I've been eying that recipe, too. Yum!
how can you go wrong with beer?
Mmm, I'm absolutely going to try the tempeh one.
I made a stew recently with A WHOLE BOTTLE OF WINE in it! And since then I've made it three more times because it was so fine. (Though recently with 1/4 bottle of wine because it's fine, but expensive).
What all did you put in your chard? Chard simmered in beer sounds intriguing.
I just made the ale tempeh too and it is delicious! Next I want to do a beer-cheez sauce I think...
You can't really go wrong with a post titled "Cooking With Beer".
I've had the beer cheese fondue at The Melting Pot before. It is BOMB!
