BEER MOP
You can really get creative with this mop recipe. Lager (light beer) is used here, but for a more pronounced flavor try using a more robust beer. You can also change the flavor by substituting a more exotic, flavored vinegar for the white vinegar. This mop does great things for Chutney-Glazed Beef Brisket (page 284).
Ingredients
•
1 cup white vinegar
•
1 cup beer
•
1⁄2 cup sliced red onion
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 tablespoon kosher salt
• Using a whisk, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes 2 cups
• Note: To keep a portion of the mop for more than one use when you intend to brush it on raw meat, be sure to transfer what you need to another container so you don’t risk contaminating your entire supply.
