More Than Sauerkraut And Dumplings!

[Koechin (Chef)]

I found something on the internet, that comes up quite often So try it next time you need to tone down The Spice. ;WAVE:

15. Neutralize spice in foods
You've got a dinner disaster on your hands: One too many shakes of cayenne powder has turned your award-winning chili into an inedible five-alarm blaze, and your guests are waiting at the table. Vinegar to the rescue! Add white or apple cider vinegar to your food, one teaspoon at a time, to neutralize the spice.

Good to know, thanks for sharing. When something is too salty, adding a potato does not work for me, I wonder if the vinegar would work for that, too!?

[Koechin (Chef)]

I know! Potatoes don't do it!! Never hurts to try the vinegar
. I know cream works with salt, but does not allways work with the recipe. I have also used unsalted chicken broth. or beef broth. Depending on what it is? If its soup and gets too thin, than I just add instant potatoes. If it's gravy, then I make a fast roux to thicken it up. Those things have worked for me.

Elfie, thanks for the idea with the vinegar! This would never have occured to me.

Pammyowl and Koechin, potatoes didn't work for me either, except with cream I never managed to balance too much salt. And, as Koechin says, cream not always is an option. I'm glad to see some other ideas, thanks Koechin!!

Completed my own last tag - Topfenpalatschinken - Crepes With Quark Filling #476359. This was absolutely outstanding! I never dared to try it before I went gluten and cow's milk free because I knew it would make me sick. Now I did it gluten and cow's milk free, and loved it
I tried to make quark from sheep or goat's milk. It did work, but doesn't taste like the real thing. So I experimented with dripped sheep yoghurt and found that the greek sheep yoghurt which I can get here tastes and feels nearly identical to normal quark mixed with sour cream. I think that yoghurt isn't made like usual yoghurt because it never tastes like yoghurt in the first place but more like full fat quark. I treid it in another recipe that requires quark and which I have eaten befrore with quark, so I could compare. Neither me nor DH could tell a difference, so I used it in the Topfenpalatschinken and it worked like a spell. I will make that again for my SIL who has spent her vacations in Tyrol for the past 20 years. She loves Palatschinken, and she'll be delighted
Thanks for sharing this recipe, Elfie!

Hi, Mia,
thank you so much for this wonderful review! I am thrilled that you where able to make it work for you! I am thinking - you are so good at adapting recipes, why don't you post it with all your modifications
I am convinced that a lot of people could benefit from it.
Have a great weekend, Elfie

Would that really be okay for you? I've thought about that, too. You're so generous, thank you
I'll do that!
Sleep well now
