I always used to say that I would rather give birth to another baby than go to the dentist.  That would, by now, make me the mother of multitudes.

Hang in there Shelby, this too shall pass and lots of wonderful meals are just waiting for you to fix them.  Knowing you, I'll bet your freezer is well stocked for a situation just like this.

interesting idea , the grapes.

 

never thought of that.

 

I make an " Indian Ck salad "  by adding curry powder or one of the Patak curry pastes

 

not simmer sauce  ----  too watery 

 

to flavor the final mix-up  and add dried cranberries to that mix.

 

Ill keep grapes in mind.

I put slivered grapes in smoked SV turkey salad too. Even better there with the contrast in sweet/smokey. Your Cbs in curry sound tasty

Chicken salad from roast chicken leftovers. Mayo with a little dijon and jalapeno vinegar, grapes

 

 

Cubes of apple work well also as well as the surprise of tangerine segments.   
Apple and grape are especially happy in curried chicken salad.

Little tapas at Mi Casita.

 

 

Rendered Iberico fat with greaves.

A piece of crispy fried Iberico fat on top of the meat. The same fat I used to make Schmalz in photo above.

 

 

 

Looks fantastic.

 

FWIW - It's Schmaltz - However; I am more than willing to call it Schmalz (or anything you want, for that matter!) if you send some my way! :laugh:

got me thinking :

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmaltz

 

i also associate it w chicken.

 

I dislike chicken Schmaltz 

 

and I was sorry to see that " Poultry "  fat might be considered by some

 

to be schmaltz 

 

for me that puts Duck Fat in poor company .  Im betting there were not that many

 

Ducks in E,Europe , so Chicken , and Geese 

 

can't say I can recall the flavor of Goose Fat.

 

Pork fat , well ,  its up their w Duck on my palate 

 

esp w Rilletes !

Schmalz is rendered fat, irrespective of the origin. In my home region in Germany the word itself is used exclusively for lard, an the word Gänseschmalz is used for goose fat.

At least the German word is derived from the verb „schmelzen“ (to melt) and thus does not contain a „t“.

I think the "t" in schmaltz comes from the Yiddish.... as well as the notion that schmaltz is associated with rendered chicken fat.  There are some kosher restaurants in NYC (in the section that used to be almost exclusively Hassidic but is now more and more gentrified) that has a pitcher of schmaltz on every table - like maple syrup in a diner.

While many of you may be familiar with the Toasted western, sometimes called the Toasted Denver, bet you’ve never seen a Toasted eastern before.

A quick pizza made out of a laffah. A few tomatoes, blended and simmered shortly with some sauce. Motz and basil.

Arugula salad with orange vinaigrette, pomegranate and almonds.

 know that chicken fat has a revered place in

 

traditional kosher cooking.  I just do not like its taste.

 

leaving a pitcher out on the table

 

to oxidize and etc

 

WoW !

Quite common in NYC and elsewhere. As Kerry noted in another topic - get over the germ phobia ;)

You have clearly never had good schmaltz then!

 

My grandmother used to make it with onions and salt, and then we would slather the stuff on crusty bread -

 

Heart attack on a plate!

 

But oh so good.

 

 

My father would call onions cooked in chicken fat "gribenes"... I think I took several years off my life when eating it as a kid...

When we used to do big Danish lunches, we always offered this  as an alternative to butter. Forget the herb. It’s made with goose fat rather than chicken fat but the idea is the same.

Austria and north Germany.

Hash is one of Austria's national dishes.

Peeling North Sea shrimp takes some time. They are often full of roe and the shells make a fantastic stock.

First lunch in Sevilla, here at one of the market bars. The same meal I had in the Algarve, Portugal cost half the price. If you arrive from Portugal you will feel it in the wallet straight away.

Three Sisters Bowl With Hominy, Beans and Squash from Sean Sherman (aka The Sioux Chef), one of the 10 Essential Native American recipes he included in his recent NYT piece.

Made with Rancho Gordo Brown Tepary Beans and Hominy. I used a carnival squash instead of acorn.

To qualify as "gribenes" you would need to fry up pieces of chicken skin. If it is fatty skin it will make its own schmaltz. Onions are a tasty addition, but optional, I believe, or at least they were in my childhood. My grandmother cooked up some good ones.

Absolutely... I forgot about the chicken skin!!  But my father always made them with lots of onions... because he loved onions...
