Shmaltz

OK, I don't know if this is legal because I haven't actually made your recipe, but it's the same as mine so I know I approve!! (Except that I chop my onions instead of slicing them) I hope there are people out there who still cook with shmaltz (like me) because believe me, this stuff is the real deal. Growing up we used shmaltz in egg salad (instead of mayo) and in mashed potatoes with even more fried onions! Kudos to Mirj for celebrating the fat!

Quick, I need the name of a good cardiologist. Schmaltz on rye bread, the real food of the gods.

Oh Mirj...you and I are going to stand by God with heart attacks for sure. I was raised on this stuff all my life. It is sooo wonderful in everything because it is what gives the food flavor. And it also keeps well. My father is smiling from Heaven on your recipe you know!

Oh yes, I grew up on this stuff. I have seen my grandmother z.l. and my mother z.l. make shmaltz since childhood. But would you believe it, this is the first time I made it myself. Both Hubby and I agree, this is the real stuff, brings back memories to both of us. I used some of the shmaltz to make helzl and some of it to fry chicken in the oven. Of course | have loads left but since it keeps so well I'll just leave it in the fridge. There are umptious ways of using this golden heavenly stuff, just wish the inside of me would agree............Thanks for posting.

If only my own shmaltz made me as happy as this delicious chicken shmaltz! Some of my earlier food memories involve a special jar that my grandmother kept in the fridge with the solidified shmaltz and the golden, crispy gribenes that was trapped within. When she wasn't looking, I would sneak to the fridge and fish out the gribenes, letting the little bits of clinging shmaltz melt on my tongue before I crunched my way through the little griben nugget. One of the best ways to use this stuff is to mix it in kasha... oh man, I'm salivating just thinking of it. I thank you Mirj.. even if my organs don't... ;)
