Main meals cooked with whisky?

[jessifleur]

This sounds mad but we've got too much whisky in our house! We get 'presents' from the company we both work for but it's cheapo awful stuff that neither of us drink and we can't give it away fast enough.
I'm after any recipes that would use lots of whisky but would burn off the alcohol (I'm massively pregnant).
I'm hoping mumsnet contains a person with this very specific topic knowledge!

You can make a glaze for spare ribs - usually it's bourbon but cheap Scotch should do

140g orange marmalade shredless
2 tbsp dark muscavado sugar
150ml whisky
100ml orange juice
5cm piece ginger grated
5 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp white wine vinegar

Put everything in a saucepan and mix, heat and bubble away until reduced by 1/3

Use as a glaze on ribs. I would think it would be okay on pretty well any pork and possibly duck or chicken.

Whisky cakes are v nice. I'd happily eat one for a main meal!

You could make Boston baked beans, and slosh some in there.

Make barbecue sauce?

Send it to me?

Blackberry whisky is delish, and I only ever use cheap ASDA whisky. You make it the same way you make sloe gin.

soup sounds nice.

It'd be lovely glugged into an apple crumble.

Steak with peppercorn sauce. You're meant to make it with brandy but I make it with whisky due to having lots.

I got some weird smoked salmon recipe somewhere. I made it once years ago. Twas nice. I will try and find it.

You can make haggis pie with a whisky cream sauce. Delicious

I knew mumsnetters would have ideas! Thank you all, I will get on it today - master chef that I am

Pork sirloin in whisky
This recipe is a typical tapa in the southern Spanish city of Seville.

1 pork sirloin
4 garlic cloves
200 ml whisky
200 ml chicken stock (or water and stock cube)
Tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
Olive oil for frying meat

Slice meat into medallions. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a little oil slowly with two whole unpeeled cloves of garlic
Bring up heat and add meat, cook to seal one side then turn and cook the other side. Do this in batches until all slices of meat are done.

Lower heat, mince or chop finely the remaining 2 cloves of garlic and cook gently being careful the garlic doesn't burn. Add whisky and bring up heat to evaporate alcohol. Add stock, butter and lemon juice.
When boiling incorporate the meat and cook five or six minutes (no longer)

If you want a thicker sauce disolve a teaspoon of corn flour in a bit of water and stir into sauce.
Serve with chips or mashed potato

Vanilla ice cream with whisky and chopped walnuts. I love it but of course in it the alcohol doesn't evaporate. Unless you throw it in a pan, let alcohol evaporate and when cold pour over ice cream and top with chopped walnuts.
