what to do with 2 cups buttermilk?
| Mon, 08-16-2004 - 12:23pm |
I made the wholesome oat muffins (delicious!!!) but I have 2 cups of buttermilk left.. Any ideas? I was thinking about lobster bisque soup but I have no seafood in the house...
Thanks..

Here are some ideas:
Buttermilk Salmon Chowder
Serves 4
Ingredients
Yogurt and buttermilk add creaminess to this chunky chowder. Dill, bay leaf, and tarragon lend the perfect flavor accents.
2 turnips, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 teaspoon dill seed
1 bay leaf
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 can (12 ounces) pink salmon, drained
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free plain yogurt
1 tablespoon trans-free margarine
2 teaspoons hot-pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the turnips, onion, celery, dill seed, bay leaf, and broth or water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the salmon, buttermilk, yogurt, margarine, hot-pepper sauce, salt, black pepper, and tarragon. Cook for
5 minutes, or just until heated through. Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving.

Use it in your favorite vinaigrette -- whisk it into some vinegar & maybe some dijon mustard, use on your salad.
The chicken fried steak recipe (do a search, in "find message about" box above) uses buttermilk also.
Buttermilk lasts a long time in the fridge in case you just want to make those muffins again. Or you can make them again and put them in the freezer.
Hope that helps!
