Title: Schmaltz & Gribenes
Categories: Five, Poultry, Vegetables
Yield: 2 Cups
3/4 lb Chicken skin & fat; diced
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 md Onion; peeled, in 1/4"
- slices (optional)
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, toss chicken skin and
fat with salt and 1 tb water and spread out in one layer. Cook over
medium heat for about 15 minutes, until fat starts to render and
skin begins to turn golden at the edges.
Add onions and cook 45 to 60 minutes longer, tossing occasionally,
until chicken skin and onions are crispy and richly browned, but
not burned.
Strain through a sieve. Reserve the schmaltz. If you want the
gribenes to be crispier, return to the skillet and cook over high
heat until done to taste. Drain gribenes on a paper-towel-lined
plate.
TIP: If you'd rather make the schmaltz in the oven (less splatter),
skip the water, spread salted skin and fat on a baking sheet, and
bake @ 350 F/175 C, stirring every 10 minutes. Add onion after
15 minutes. The timing will be about the same for both methods.
