'SHMALTZ'
chicken fat
While one might think
'shmaltz'
means to be flashy,
it is really just chicken fat
recipe:
rendered down, usually after the cooling
process of our chicken soup [above].
After cool down our SOUP should have
a beautiful yellow layer of chicken fat
rendered down from our cooking .
SKIM OFF this yellow layer
this is the 'SHMALTZ'
but wait...
we are not finished!!!
Now, dice up some onions very thin,
and put them in a sauce pan adding
a little 'shmaltz'
and cook the onions down slowly
caramelizing
then add all the rest of the 'shmaltz'
and cook slowly for a while.
cook down put in bowl and in fridge.
Like butter or margarine,
SPREAD on MATZOH or cracker,
add a little salt.
