whey to go

[wombat1138]

Wow. Making fresh paneer is dead easy-- if eeedge recalls my instant science demo back in 4th grade or so, where I dramatically coagulated the proteins out of milk by adding some blue vinegar, it was pretty much like that, except on a larger scale and less blue.

Of course, now I have over a gallon of whey to deal with. Yeek. Supposedly it makes very tasty lemonade, so I might try that with a quart or two-- it already has a pleasant, subtle sweet/tart taste on its own-- while considering other recipes to recycle the rest into. Soup seems impractical as an immediate solution, given that I'm about to make nearly six pounds of butter chicken which'll probably be enough leftovers to last into next week, unless the wombat-consort eats truly heroic quantities. The next step in the butter chicken recipe is going to strip all the bones out of there... maybe I can just chuck the bones directly into the whey to make a fresh pot of stock?

Too late now, of course. But ricotta.
