As for the ginger..Peel a long part of the root,Then using a vegetable peller slice very thin slices (With the grain)Stack them on one another and chiffanade as this as you can,fluff with you fingers and then fry in canola oil until lightly golden,drain on paper towel,keep in a dry spot. When you finish building your capaccio place a nice mound ontop of the hearb salad,It adds a great flavor/texture balance to the meat.

Just recently made Ginger syrup as a base for ginger brew (non-traditional as I just mix syrup with club soda) while also making ginger candy out of the same process. Only ingredients are ginger, sugar and H2O. I use 5 lbs of ginger at a time as I vend my beverage and candy for a local festival.
The soda turned out great and the candies are still being enjoyed by many.
Sometimes I don't put the ginger in trays, leave in a zip lock bag (air out) and when I need it , grate it frozen, works like a charm.
This year the Moscow Mule has been a very big hit in our family- (all the sisters). I have been using garden mint and candied ginger to flavor it up. Basically its just vodka, ginger beer, 1 tsp sugar ( dieting, then no sugar or sub) , lots of ice, fresh mint leaves (chiffonade) and rim the glass and then drop in a few pieces of candied ginger.
Oh making macarons with dark chocolate with ginger filling......
And the taste of fried ginger on a carrot soup (don't know if that was mentioned)
Can anyone tell me about how long to cook ginger in a pressure cooker? I can't seem to get a good feel on a timing as apposed to cooking it in a pan for a length of time.../img/vbsmilies/smilies/rolleyes.gif thanx!!
I like most of the people, make candied ginger, the syrup, & cookies. I now am on a quest to create my own recipe for "ginger Pizzelles" . I just need to calculate the amount of fresh ginger to use.
I also keep in the house a box of "Ginger Honey Crystals" made by Prince of Peace Enterprises Inc., of China. It comes in a nice golden yellow box with a piece of ginger on the front of box. It has 10 packets inside. I use about 1/2 tsp. in my coffee in the morning or some in my hot tea. The "Ginger Honey Crystals" can also be used alone as a hot beverage or cold beverage. lots of good options.
Apart from the obvious use in asian cooking - grated fresh ginger, lime juice, pinch of sugar, mineral water. Kills a hangover like nothing else. Fill a bottle and let it rest in the fridge for a couple of days for the flavours to diffuse into the water.
