Jewish cooking
Make an incision just below the breast bone large enough to insert your
hand, take out the fat and loosen the entrails with your forefinger.
When everything is removed, cut off the wings close to the body, also
the neck, feet and head. Separate the gall from the liver. In doing this
be very careful not to break the gall, which has a very thin skin.
Scrape all the fat off carefully that adheres to the entrails and lay it
in a separate dish of water overnight. Cut open the gizzard, clean and
pull off the skin, or inner lining.
Make Kosher as directed in "Rules for Kashering".
If you make use of the head, which you may in soup, cut off the top of
the bill, split open the head, lengthwise, take out the brains, eyes and
tongue.
Clean the gizzard and feet by laying them in scalding water for a few
moments, this will loosen the skin, which can then be easily removed.
Remove the oil bag from the upper side of tail.
After making Kosher and cleaning poultry, season all fowls for several
hours before cooking. Salt, pepper, and ginger are the proper seasoning.
Some like a tiny bit of garlic rubbed inside and outside, especially for
goose or duck.
Dress and clean goose, duck, squab, and turkey as directed for chicken.
TO TRUSS A CHICKEN
Press the thighs and wings close against the body; fasten securely with
skewers and tie with string. Draw the skin of the neck to the back and
fasten it.
ROAST CHICKEN
Stuff and truss a chicken, season with pepper and salt and dredge with
flour. Put in a roasting-pan with two or three tablespoons of
chicken-fat if the chicken is not especially fat. When heated add hot
water and baste frequently. The oven should be hot and the time
necessary for a large chicken will be about an hour and a half. When
done, remove the chicken, pour off the grease and make a brown sauce in
the pan.
CHICKEN CASSEROLE
Bake chicken in covered casserole until nearly tender, then add three
potatoes cut in dice; boil small pieces of carrots, green peas, and
small white onions--each to be boiled separately. Just before serving,
thicken gravy with a teaspoon of flour mixed with a half cup of soup
stock or water. Season to taste and place vegetables around the dish.
BOILED CHICKEN, BAKED
Make chicken soup with an old hen. Remove chicken from soup just as soon
as tender. Place in roasting-pan with three tablespoons of chicken-fat,
one onion sliced, one clove of garlic, one-half teaspoon each of salt
and paprika. Sprinkle with soft bread crumbs. Baste frequently and when
sufficiently browned, cut in pieces for serving. Place on platter with
the strained gravy pour over the chicken and serve.
