Extra Schmaltz!: Saving chicken broth
http://extraschmaltz.blogspot.com/2015/02/saving-chicken-broth.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. This is a really just a tiny useful technique thing, but we find it really helpful in our house. Whenever I used to make chicken broth, I would wait till it cooled, then find old tupperware, jars, etc to put the broth in. The problem is, I mostly use broth in small quantities, so it was a pain to thaw just some of that broth for use. Here's a fuzzy picture of some of my broth muffins:.

Extra Schmaltz!: Savory chicken apricot pie
http://extraschmaltz.blogspot.com/2015/06/savory-chicken-apricot-pie.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Savory chicken apricot pie. One of my favorite dishes that they had, which was a special and so only available certain days, was a chicken apricot pie. I don't think this is an authentic dish in any particular country, but represents the kind of fusiony approach that make MedCaf so popular. This is the recipe from my third time making it, since the first couple just didn't come close enough to what I remember. 250 grams qamar addin. 2 large chicken breasts, or 3 small. Welcome to o...

http://extraschmaltz.blogspot.com/2015/02/around-house-bread-making.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. Around the house bread making. So I've posted a few bread recipes here, but this post is more about my technique, since I've gotten it down to enough of a science that it makes less mess than most bread recipes, and the results are always really good. Here's the basic recipe I use to make a really nice, hearty sandwich bread, but hold in mind I mostly eyeball these quantities. This makes 2 two-pound loaves of sandwich bread. 4 cups white flour. 3 cups wheat flour. This last s...

Extra Schmaltz!: Szechuan Peppercorn Chicken with Eggplant
http://extraschmaltz.blogspot.com/2014/09/szechuan-peppercorn-chicken-with.html
Monday, September 1, 2014. Szechuan Peppercorn Chicken with Eggplant. I made this with Japanese eggplants, but if you only have normal eggplant, cutting it into cubes might actually be nice, since they'd be a similar shape to the chicken chunks. 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (breasts reheat better for leftovers), cubed. 5 Japanese eggplants, in slices. 3 2 cloves garlic, sliced. 15 teaspoons peeled sliced fresh ginger. 1 heaping tablespoon szechuan peppercorn. Add oil to the hot p...
