“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Gingersnap Gravy

 

Ingredients


SEASONING MIX

1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp rubbed sage
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp ground cumin

MAIN INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp chicken, pork, or beef fat
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 tsp minced garlic
6 cup basic chicken stock
1 cup pan drippings from chicken
8 each gingersnap cookies
1 tsp light brown sugar, to taste
1 tsp ground ginger, to taste



 

Preparation

Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Melt the fat and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When
almost melted, add the onions, celery, and garlic; saute 5 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Stir in the seasoning mix and cook 5 minutes
more, stirring occasionally. Add the stock and pan drippings; bring
to a boil over high heat and boil rapidly until liquid reduces to
about 1 quart, about 25 minutes. Then crumble the gingersnaps into
the stock mixture and whisk with a metal whisk until they are
dissolved. Continue cooking 10 minutes, whisking frequently and
making sure the gingersnaps are thoroughly dissolved. During this
time, taste the gravy; if the ginger flavour is not pronounced,m add
the 1 tablespoon brown sugar and the 1 teaspoon ginger or add both to
taste. Strain the gravy. Makes 2-1/2 to 3 cups. From Paul Prudhomme's
"Louisiana Kitchen"
