Tallow Three Ways

Creative ideas for the powerhouse flavor-builder

Tallow boasts remarkable culinary flexibility. At room temperature, it offers a spreadable consistency. It can confidently handle sautéing and deep frying at elevated temperatures; and when melted, tallow provides something of a silky mouthfeel, making it an ideal choice as a finishing oil for warm dishes. Used simply—brushed on or drizzled—or in more complex recipes, old-fashioned tallow is an exciting modern enhancement.

Try tallow in creative menu applications: 

  • Place a yuzu kosho-infused tallow quenelle atop black miso cod.
  • Elevate churrasco sliders with tallow brioche buns.
  • Use burnt sugar-tallow buttercream to frost chocolate-chile cupcakes.
