DIY Limoncello

I have a recipe for limoncello that I got from an native Italian. I use the yellow part of the peel and only steep in Evercleer (which we have to smuggle into our state, always stocking up when we travel) for three days before going on to the second step of adding the syrup. And that seems to be enough for good results (taste and color). I'm wondering - does anyone know why the steeped peel feel petrified after being in the alcohol - they gets hard and brittle.

Ground Turkey Ideas

There's an old Frugal Gourmet recipe for Greek Sausage using beef and pork. I substitute ground turkey and add it to the orange rind, cinnamon, allspice, salt, pepper and white wine; then I make it into patties and grill it. I serve it with a tahini sauce on pita with tomatoes, cukes, and onion. It's delicious and pretty healthy.

Healthy & Delicious: Black-Eyed Pea 'Caviar'

I make a salad of cubed cucumber, cubed cooked beets, cubed feta cheese, a small amount of diced red onion, and chick peas, all mixed with homemade balsamic vinegrette containing mustard, garlic, oregano, pepper and a bit of sugar. Hearty and delicious.

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'

A multiple grain bread with white, whole wheat flours and cornmeal. I order the grain mix from King Arthur Flour. It's great.

Cook the Book: 'Osteria'

A great big baked potato, sprinkled with chili powder, piled high with chopped fresh broccoli that was steamed with olive oil and garlic on top, topped with a generous amount of melted sharp cheddar cheese.

I've got a pint of schmaltz, help!

In my family is wasn't schmaltz unless you fried chicken skin with chopped onions, that rendered fat was schmaltz! I guess you could fry onions with it. I use the schmaltz to coat toast croutons for split pea soup, it's perfect for that. I guess you could fry chicken in it, why not, if you have a large amount.
