SCHMALTZ, VEGGIE SCHMALTZ

Divine Kosher Cuisine: Catering to Family and Friends
by Rise' Routenberg, Barbara Wasser

Veggie Schmaltz is a flavor enhancer, par excellence! It is much more than a vegetarian substitute for oil, margarine and butter. It imparts all the savory flavor and rich texture of animal fat schmaltz in every recipe that uses it. Its fans and devotees are legion and many of our recipes call for it. We would like to thank our dear Israeli friend who introduced us to this fabulous recipe.
