Kosher Dosher...“I am a culinary Heretic"

So who loves garlic? The better question might be; who doesn't love garlic. This post was inspired by a Facebook group I belong to called Modernist Schmodernist .  A Facebook  Group friend posted a link: How to Preserve Garlic by Hunter-Angler-Gardener-Cook (Hank Shaw).  After reading his article, I just knew I had to try this. Hank Shaw's recipe is adapted from The Preservation Kitchen by Paul Virant. This book is outstanding for all those interested in food or canning. Preserving food is not my thing but transforming food is certainly in my wheelhouse.  It's tough to describe what happens to garlic when it's Pressured Canned using Paul Virant's scanning technique.  So instead of me plagiarizing someone else descriptive words about canned garlic, I will quote them here.  "Precious few foods undergo a magical transformation when they are preserved," No matter how much I love fresh garlic, i...

This one of those dishes that's created out of a pure craving for pasta. If you're on a Ketogenic Diet this can be challenging. Not to fear though because I can do anything with food. I can make Keto dishes taste amazing. This dish starts out with my Amazing Coconut Curry Sauce. There are two versions of this sauce. The first version (HERE)  is 100% Keto and the Second (HERE) version is less Keto friendly but still is a great choice for this dish. Also you need a device to turn Veggies into pasta. There are many versions. There all good. HERE is the one I have.  First thing you should do is make the sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.  Buy many Chicken thighs. Buy them boneless or skinless. I purchased the whole thing and I made Schmaltz with the Skin & the remnants.  Make a spice to coat the chicken. Make your own or buy some. I used Curry, Cumin, Salt, White ...

That's right another Keto Waffle recipe. When I started eating Keto I tried a few recipes online and was not exactly satisfied with the recipes that came before mine.

  A month or two before Thanksgiving, I knew I wanted to do something different with the leftovers. Why not Fried Balls? Yea, yea, let the jokes begin. I had a hard time coming up with names for this post, too, without it sounding offensive or stupid. Oh, and I wanted to be original also. I am many things, and trite is not one of them. Before you ask, Ballalicious is an original name created by yours honestly to describe what is undoubtedly a delicious dish. Before I begin, let me quickly give you a recipe synopsis. Take your leftovers and make them into balls and fry them. A complete Thanksgiving meal in a fried ball!!! This dish started out with my delicious Turkey 2015. I used the Turkey Breast and saved the dark meat for the wife and kids.  Your favorite stuffing. I made homemade croutons, of course. Bread, olive oil with some spices and herbs toasted in the oven. Done!!! To a large bowl, add your leftover mashed potatoes, st...
