Jalapeno Beer Baklava

Advertisement

Baklava is a nut-filled dessert that can typically be purchased at Greek restaurants, but did you know that it didn't originate in Greece. Many groups will claim Baklava as their own. However, it is widely believed that it is of Assyrian origin. Around 8th century B.C., Assyrians baked thin layers of dough with nuts, poured honey over it, and created this awesome treat. So what better to do then to mess with thousands of years of tradition, by adding jalapeños and beer to the mix. Apparently by doing so there is no spicy burn at all, and the alcohol doesn't jump out at you as being beer. Check out the recipe in the source. (Thx Homebrewtalk)
