Rinds of cheese - anything to be done with them?

[Roll_Bones]

I grind it to almost nothing. I know my knuckles could be severely scrubbed, but I am cheap/thrifty that way.

 

[Mad Cook]

Really? Like a homemade veg. soup? Does that mean you've done this? Does the rind 'melt' or do you dig it out and discard it? Or do you just eat it?

You can see I like details.

Ina Garten covered this on Food Network. She chucked the rind of a piece of parmesan cheese into the soup when she was cooking itand fished it out and threw it away when the soup was served. Supposed to improve the soup.

I use parmesan rinds for making pesto. Works well. I would think you could do something similar with any hard cheese rind.

Also, there is more talk about this on http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f22/leftover-cheese-rinds-83238-3.html

Didn't you always teach us not to waste food?

Hey! It's a parent's job to throw what a child says back at them, to make them think about what they're doing, not the offspring's.

Naw, I wouldn't really throw them at my daughters. I have been known to put them in soup though. They do add a bit of cheesy flavor, and make the broth a bit more complex.

I thought that is what the dirty sock is for.

If you didn't want us teaching you with your own words then maybe you should have used fewer of them in your lectures.

Touché!

 

[lyndalou]

Hard cheeses such as Parm can be tossed into a pasta sauce.

Yes!

Wow! Tough crowd.

And yes, the dirty socks do add complexity to the broth. You're just as bad as P.A.G. Are you sure that you're not one of my kids?
