Gallina Curds and Whey

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the tough coats from the gizzards and clear them of any pebbles.

  2. Sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on the coats and hang them up to dry.

  3. When ready to use, break a few pieces and pour boiling water over them.

  4. Let the mixture stand overnight to infuse.

  5. Use the infusion in the same way as rennet to coagulate milk.

  6. Sweeten with sugar if desired for a wholesome supper.
