When this guy* made clear ketchup, he used egg whites to separate remaining solid tomato matter out from the liquid tomato umami. Wonder if that would work for oil at all.
Both methods just use protein to trap large particles. The difference is that with gelatin, the process is reversible with heat. Magnesium silicate is just really pure talcum powder and it’s widely used in food service to clean oil.
I don’t mean to polish my knob, but I am doing a vegetarian menu this year that blows those insipid recipes out of the water. I guess I should start a foodie website and rake in that sweet-sweet ad revenue from click-bait.
(Totally being sarcastic)
Here’s the menu:
Velouté de Châtaignes (creamy fresh chestnut soup)
Spanish tortilla with homemade saffron aioli
My grandmother’s green bean hot dish (excellent, not your basic beans+soup+canned fried onions mess at all)
Roasted root vegetables with garden herbs (rutabagas, etc, with sage and rosemary from the garden)
Winter salad with buttermilk dressing (updated Waldorf)
Fresh corn soufflé
Onion-Mushroom-Roquefort-Walnut tarte tatin (centerpiece dish)
LMAO, it does seem to be having a moment. It happens a lot I’ve noticed. Some restaurant chain will make something and it’s popular so everyone else copies and tries to replicate. Right now it’s Taco Bell’s dipping tacos and birria is now everywhere. I’m Korean and have noticed gochujang is a popular sauce I see everywhere now.
