eat less meat!
i am starting to get into the craze of eating less meat. it is better for the environment. however, meat tastes very good, and like alcohol, marijuana and sugar, it cures anger and nervous affections. this means that it is very important for us to make the most use of meat. here i am going to discuss how to make your own CHICKEN FAT and your own BEEF TALLOW. adding animal fat to your food makes it taste good without you even having to add meat.

the approach is the same for both. you take bones and all the least desirable cuts of meat and turn them into broth and fat. you will get a higher yield with chicken fat, because chicken skin is full of fat.

place under the broiler or in a dutch oven on low heat:

chicken backs, beef bones.

let it brown and some of the oil will come out. you can pour off the rendered fat or add it to a stock pot along with the bones. then add celery, carrots, onion, bouquet garnis and water to cover it all. simmer for several hours.

strain out the liquid, then separate the fat from the liquid using a gravy separator. strain the broth through a chinois and save it. once you have the fat separated, you can purify it a bit by adding hot water, stirring, then separating again. add water to your fat, put it in the fridge. the next day you will have a layer of solid fat which can be used in cooking.

two healthy MEATLESS recipes:

1. beef tallow quinoa: mince carrots and onions, sweat in beef tallow. add quinoa, salt, water and a bay leaf, cook until the quinoa is done.

2. kasha varnishkes. gently cook two or three large onions in a large amount of chicken fat until they have lost all their water, about twenty minutes. add cooked kasha, cooked bowtie pasta, salt and black pepper.
