Announcing 2024 Nespresso Art of Sustainable Sourcing Winner
We partnered with Nespresso to challenge our community of chefs to submit creative recipes featuring Nespresso’s Diavolitto coffee. Check out the winner here!
StarChefs partnered with Nespresso this summer to give one chef a trip for two to Paris, France this November. Join us in giving a big congratulations to Chef Steven Satterfield of Miller Union on his winning dish: Red-Eye Gravy Quail, Nespresso Diavolitto, Griddled Grit Cakes, Muscadine Grapes, and Fresh Herbs.
As Satterfield describes, “If you live in the South, you have at some point come across red-eye gravy, the unique sauce made with two key ingredients: coffee and country ham. This combination may sound unusual, but it is deliciously complex with the deep notes of coffee providing a backbone for the salty funk of country ham. It is traditionally prepared by frying a thick slice of country ham, then making a pan sauce with the ham drippings to be served over grits. My version incorporates fresh muscadines, the wild grape of the South, for a unique twist on this classic. The sweet tang of the grapes and the zip of some fresh ginger elevate this sauce to a new level. Instead of traditional creamy grits, I make them into a griddle cake for a contemporary presentation. The intense and powerful flavor profile of Nespresso’s Diavolitto is the perfect match and a natural fit for this red-eye gravy recipe.”
