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.
