How munch is it . In the southern part of the US i can get a big bag of them from on side of the road for the price of a 2kg of chicken which is around $5 us , 46.54 skrona or 4.43 euro. In the store it around $0.50-$2.00 each
I read a story in a veterans magazine where a cook in ww2 served Eisenhower spam that looked like fried chicken and most said it even tasted like chicken. Eisenhower gave the cook a medal for his culinary skills as a result.

You don't have to be a vegetarian of vegan to enjoy meat free options. If you can have fruit on your diet, congrats! This meal is also for you. My mom makes these soy nuggets and my brother loves them even more than regular chicken nuggets, so whenever we make them we try to make big batches and freeze them for the whole family :)
Carter Hale that doesn’t work for everyone! I have a ton of food allergies and rely on chicken a lot. One of the only things that won’t kill me stomach or make my throat close up 😂
@@SauceStache your a genius is the kitchen how about coming up with some low cal or vegetarian sauces that we can use when trying to stick to a diet or eat healthier.
Awww someone's butthurt. You frail little person. I'm sure you'll be frying your pets or family before you think of your shoes, so idk how you came up with this comment.
So my wife and I tried this, however we did not have grapefruit peels. So instead we used some jumbo shrimp we had recently purchased. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly as laid out in the video and it ended up being a really good, with no citrus flavor! In fact, it was far better than I expected and is now one of our new favorites. Thanks Sauce Stache!
Gave it a try. Tried it at home. Tasted awful 😂 It really tasted like something you're not supposed to eat - like packaging material or a garden hose. It was fun though and worth the experience
I just made this. It was fantastic! I used navel orange peels instead of grapefruit (it's what I had) and I marinated in salt water for a few hours and overnight in broth. It would make a great orange chicken.
I saw in a comment on a different video on Grapefruit steaks that if you soak the pith in water then press it out and do it three times or more you get the citrus and bitterness out.
One of the original recipes treats it as chopped steak. The marinade is made with garlic, soy sauce (coconut aminio would work too), salt & pepper. The peel is then dredged in a bit of corn starch and fried. Served with caramelized onions
I was thinking it would be when prepared this way. I was expecting there to be some sort of process happening to the grapefruit part, to shed it's bitterness somehow, and infuse it with other flavors.
Substitute Pomelos for the Grapefruit to prevent a bitter disappointment. Also Honey Pomelos can be considered. Pomelos are much less bitter and have much thinker pith.
After watching this I was intrigued. I read the comments for ideas to improve on the idea. So I did this: -Removed more of the zest than you did -Got less juice on the pith as I removed the flesh -Simmered the pith in water to help remove any residual grapefruit flavour -Simmered the pith in chicken stock to try and give a bit of flavour back -Then drained it, squeezed some excess water out and coated in my fried chicken batter and breadcrumbs. -Fried it to a perfect golden brown. They looked amazing, beautiful, mouthwatering. So I tasted it, a nice crunch on the breadcrumbs, a good texture, and then the bitterness. It's was so tart, so bitter. It was horrific, considering I had just had a glass of the juice from the grapefruit it was so strong. Vile, horrible stuff. I tried another piece to see if it was just that one. Nope, they were all vile. They went straight to the bin, inedible would be my description. My advice to anyone out there, NEVER DO THIS, not unless you absolutely love that grapefruit tang, but just don't know how to get more.
Fascinating, I wonder if marinating the pieces before breading them would change anything.I really like grapefruit, so now can use the whole thing. So inventive.
Tried simmering the pith first in water, then chicken broth for a total of about half hour till I thought the pith would start to fall apart it was so soft. I even squeezed the excess water from the pith multiple times. It still tasted horrible and bitter.
Litty Committee feel free to watch the UA-cam video, “the best speech ever” by Gary yourofsky. Super interesting and helpful when understanding what veganism is and why people are joining this movement. Good luck:)
@@b8665 ok thanks. Ill probably stick with meat though. I don't know if I can go without chick fil a or in n out for too long. But I will try to limit it. I like that meats are advancing and are being made in labs because it tastes the same and there is no animal cruelty involved. I've already seen small lab made steaks and ground beef.
Litty Committee I am very excited about the advances being made with lab meat as well... I personally can't wait to try a piece of lab meat! Thanks so much for watching if you like the rice paper the soy skin one is seriously good. I would try to find the yuba in a store to make it easier!
Litty Committee you should definitely try beyond burgers and impossible. Marketed for meat eaters who want to have a healthy alternative and more eco friendly alternative to meat. Super tasty! My meat eating family eats it all the time for their health. Beyond burgers are available in Whole Foods and even at Carls jr now called the famous star. Impossible meat will be available at Burger King everywhere soon! And yes. Reducing is still making change. Even just making yourself aware of this issue does a lot for the animals. It’s a great video :) let me know how you like it if you ever get around to watching it
It's just a way for extremely poor people to draw out what little they have, but it turns out to be idiotic as it is indigestible and will cause future health issues.
I tried it. It smelled delicious. It looked beautiful crispy brown. But it tasted horribly bitter...what did I do wrong? Other than attempting to fry a grapefruit rind...
If you bring it first, then it will remove some of the bitterness and citrus taste but the texture will stay. These make a magnificent desert as well. One of my favorites. It is so good they are made commercially as well.
@@SauceStache Great! I just thought of something: maybe this vegan beef soup recipe might help out. ua-cam.com/video/DF_q6lkb2Wo/v-deo.html From my own experimenting, the key ingredients seem to be onions, soy sauce, and salt. I'm sure that cocoa and mushrooms help, but I think that those ingredients don't do as much as the key ingredoents. Also, a key taste of cocoa is bitterness, which the rind should have a lot of. I could be wrong, but the trick to creating any great flavour [...I'm not an expert, mind you...] is to have all taste sensations mixed with protein. I'm probably going to start experimenting with rinds, and those key ingredients.
I made it. I don't know how you ate an entire fillet by itself lol. It was very bitter alone but they are good on a bun with lettuce tomato and mayo. I'll keep it :)
Just tried this with pomello skins. Boiled in water about 5 times to get rid of bitter taste. I was scared, but it came out great. My husband was surprised.
In Canton we have an old dish made with the pith of the yuzu, the method to minimize the bitterness is burn off the peel first, then soak the pith for a while, then rub off the burn parts. Then repeatedly squeeze the pith in water and change water until the water stays clear, the pit looks mostly white and rip off a piece for taste with no bitterness at all, then they start to season the pith.
They actually came out really great looking! Could you soak the rinds in a veg stock maybe before breading them - for extra juiciness? Maybe you could cut the egg out then too
Thank you!! Yeah! I think I'm going to try a vinegar soak next to get rid of the bitterness, then a seasoning soak with a veg stock.. I'll still want a binder but I can probably just use a stock with flour.
For a reasonable prep, I would consider doing the part where you separate the pith from the grapefruit after you cut it up into smaller pieces and use your knife to slice the fruit out of the pith wedges
@Sauce Stache, When you've removed the pith, marinate it in a savory liquid for a little while. Try liquid aminos along with your spices of choice, and let it marinate for at least an hour before breading and frying. Cutting the fruit into quarters will help with the spoon method, or you can supreme the grapefruit. Surpremes will be smaller "cutlets" but you'll avoid juicing the flesh.
I'm with you J.M., here's my comment; " Substitute Pomelos for the Grapefruit to prevent a bitter disappointment. Also Honey Pomelos can be considered. Pomelos are much less bitter and have much thinker pith."
Oranges are easier to strip out fruit part if cut into four top to bottom so segments are not cut across. the fruit then just peels away easily from the end. no juice soaking.
Try cut it in half, not the stem end. and half again, gently turn the section inside out, the pith should break away from the pulp. Its the way i eat oranges, the pith always breal away under gentle pressure, once you feel the separation you can sometimes peel the whole fruit away from the pith.
@@Icex7 yea I watched I just don't get who ask the name on Spanish, and I'm native Spanish speaker and it doesn't sound good, I don't like when someone's write Spanish on English is a hole different pronunciation, bistec de toronja
So sir I tried this recipe for 4th of July it was good but it was too tangy for my vegetarian brother so what about using an orange instead of grapefruit
I really want to give this a try, I feel like with a decent marinade it may not be as bitter. Really happy to have found your channel new subscriber here
If you want to give it a try just for the experience, go for it. If you are expecting this to actually be a proper national dish that you would enjoy on a regular basis, it's not. This was created as a way for poor and hungry people to slightly improve the palatability of the semi-edible things they had to eat to survive.
Another substitute for chicken I have used a lot is "Chicken-of-the-Woods Mushrooms" ( tender young ones) marinate em, coat them with bread crumbs, deep fry... Yummmmnnn!
Please do make another video about fruits cooked like this, I love to cook for my girlfriend and she is a vegetarian so it means a lot to try and put more on the plate for her to eat and try new things! (BTW of course I won't use eggs just to clarify.)
@@Nina-vv3ev it is. I moved to Puerto Rico last summer to help after the hurricanes and if it wasn't for people like me, things would be moving at an even lower pace for the common folk. Communism is bad and so is keeping a small UN unrecognized country that it's better served by been granted it's own freedom as a colony. USA is the only capitalist republic to keep colonies. Communism and "Colonism" both need to end.
@@Nina-vv3ev it's an aquired taste for sure. My sister vacations here, but that's about it. The thing I hate here is the traffic. Like, wtf? Jesus F. Christ!
something that will help. keep the grapefruit whole only peel the orange part off. then quarter it and peel the thick white part off. that's the "chiken" boil it a few times and squeeze then out without breaking them each time you boil them. this will remove that bitter taste. then batter and fry as normal!
Some things i thought of while watching this vid. You could peel them much easier by carving them the size you want while they are still on the "meat" of the fruit. And then you can easily peel them off with your fingers with none of the Juices coming out of it. Its a simple homestyle way of peeling an orange/grapefruit. At least in my culture. Another thing to straighten up the "curves" of the peels is to press them lightly with a cutting board or books (for home cooks) in the fridge for like 30 mins to an hour. Something that would go pretty well with it is some Coconut and Chili flakes and maybe some Chipotle seasoning would also give it a nice smoky flavor. Enjoy
Simmer the peel in a grapefruit juice and sugar syrup and make candied peel and grapefruit syrup. Use the syrup to sweeten drinks. I have seen it recommended by Binging With Babish to use citrus syrup in cocktails (in his Clementine Cake episode), but me personally I'd use it in tea - iced or not, syrup mixes in really quickly. The candied peel could be used as decorations on baked goods, or a mix-in, or just a snack to nibble on.

I brined mine. Still bitter.
@@nerdcave0 I know it sounds simple but you can use either sugar solution or a bit of baking powder to dim the bitter taste.
Anything alkaline.
@@andrewgrimm4590 Yes! That's a great way.
For a reasonable prep, I would consider doing the part where you separate the pith from the grapefruit after you cut it up into smaller pieces and use your knife to slice the fruit out of the pith wedges
I found that punding them tender, soaking in an overnight marinade, and frying in peanut oil cuts the bitterness.
I love how his comment sections are always full of constructive criticism.
Like calling a fruit rind meat. (Hint: it’s not)
Try brining it overnight in a very salty and vinegar based brine.
Thats a great idea!!
please keep up with more plant base recipes
@Sauce Stache, When you've removed the pith, marinate it in a savory liquid for a little while. Try liquid aminos along with your spices of choice, and let it marinate for at least an hour before breading and frying. Cutting the fruit into quarters will help with the spoon method, or you can supreme the grapefruit. Surpremes will be smaller "cutlets" but you'll avoid juicing the flesh.
in the future, you should try using a pomelo. they have a much bigger pith.
I'm with you J.M., here's my comment; " Substitute Pomelos for the Grapefruit to prevent a bitter disappointment. Also Honey Pomelos can be considered. Pomelos are much less bitter and have much thinker pith."
Soak the rinds in some veggie/mushroom stock. Will give it some umami.
don't be so pretentious kyle.
I’d use a brine with stock. Heavily salted.
ummm...maybe quarter them then remove the fruit?
Yeah that would have been so much easier!
Yes, yes, yes! Keep working these, and when you find a stellar solution, post that one - along with a link in your description box!
Oranges are easier to strip out fruit part if cut into four top to bottom so segments are not cut across. the fruit then just peels away easily from the end. no juice soaking.
YOUR KILLIN IT KEEP IT UP!
Holy shit. Vsauce actually putting some sauce to work.
This guy looks like Michael from VSauce, exactly how he would look if he started a cooking show...
YES I THOUGHT IT WAS HIM I was like *whew* what did I miss
I love your videos, please keep making them.
Soak the rind several days in vegetable broth then air dried it will make it taste less bitter , more savory and more chewy
Try cut it in half, not the stem end. and half again, gently turn the section inside out, the pith should break away from the pulp. Its the way i eat oranges, the pith always breal away under gentle pressure, once you feel the separation you can sometimes peel the whole fruit away from the pith.

@@wakalakesh what?
@@wakalakesh Did you watch the video kid?
@@Icex7 yea I watched I just don't get who ask the name on Spanish, and I'm native Spanish speaker and it doesn't sound good, I don't like when someone's write Spanish on English is a hole different pronunciation, bistec de toronja
@@wakalakesh You're meant to read the text like if you were speaking english, it sounds just like it.
Ummmmm.....I’m vegan.......and
You are amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. 😊
You’re amazing!!! Thank you
I watched this video earlier and they look good and easy to make ua-cam.com/video/UfcYblV3l4w/v-deo.html
@@SauceStache what's a good vegan (non soy) egg alternative???
What if you soaked them in cream, would that remove some of the citrus?
Ohh idk!! I've heard that if you soak them in vinegar that it cuts down the citrus a LOT
This is AWESOME! I love frugal recipes and learning how people got along during hard times. Ingenuity! awesome channel.
So sir I tried this recipe for 4th of July it was good but it was too tangy for my vegetarian brother so what about using an orange instead of grapefruit
Vegan: OHHHHH YEAH
*"and now I'm going to crack two eggs"*
Vegan : big sad noise
In don't like being early to videos, I'll be back in a month to watch it.
hahahah let me know when you're back!
I really want to give this a try, I feel like with a decent marinade it may not be as bitter. Really happy to have found your channel new subscriber here
If you want to give it a try just for the experience, go for it. If you are expecting this to actually be a proper national dish that you would enjoy on a regular basis, it's not. This was created as a way for poor and hungry people to slightly improve the palatability of the semi-edible things they had to eat to survive.
Another substitute for chicken I have used a lot is "Chicken-of-the-Woods Mushrooms" ( tender young ones) marinate em, coat them with bread crumbs, deep fry... Yummmmnnn!
Please do make another video about fruits cooked like this, I love to cook for my girlfriend and she is a vegetarian so it means a lot to try and put more on the plate for her to eat and try new things! (BTW of course I won't use eggs just to clarify.)
This is food Cuban use in Cuba during times of scarcity.
Bees-té de toe-ron-ha

Yaria Samavan Carlan communism is a horrible thing lol
Thank you for that!
@@Nina-vv3ev it is. I moved to Puerto Rico last summer to help after the hurricanes and if it wasn't for people like me, things would be moving at an even lower pace for the common folk. Communism is bad and so is keeping a small UN unrecognized country that it's better served by been granted it's own freedom as a colony.
USA is the only capitalist republic to keep colonies. Communism and "Colonism" both need to end.
Yaria Samavan Carlan Puerto Rico sucks.... I don’t miss it lol
@@Nina-vv3ev it's an aquired taste for sure. My sister vacations here, but that's about it. The thing I hate here is the traffic. Like, wtf? Jesus F. Christ!

That’s what sh... Nah, it’s too easy and I’m not gonna be that guy. 😬

When he cums early and doesn't warn you
I thought he was going to coat real chicken with the grapefruit rind😂
something that will help. keep the grapefruit whole only peel the orange part off. then quarter it and peel the thick white part off. that's the "chiken" boil it a few times and squeeze then out without breaking them each time you boil them. this will remove that bitter taste. then batter and fry as normal!
@saucestach have you had luck improving the flavor?
Will you do a second video trying to improove on that recipe?
Cheers from switzerland :)
Hell yea, I'm all about the chicken substitutes. Thanks for these vegetarian friendly videos.
👎👎🗑
Hit me up, my flip flop frontega is to die for.
Awesome!!! I'll keep it going!
Me: How much parsley?
Him: A good nub
Me: 😲
Some things i thought of while watching this vid.
You could peel them much easier by carving them the size you want while they are still on the "meat" of the fruit. And then you can easily peel them off with your fingers with none of the Juices coming out of it. Its a simple homestyle way of peeling an orange/grapefruit. At least in my culture.
Another thing to straighten up the "curves" of the peels is to press them lightly with a cutting board or books (for home cooks) in the fridge for like 30 mins to an hour.
Something that would go pretty well with it is some Coconut and Chili flakes and maybe some Chipotle seasoning would also give it a nice smoky flavor.
Enjoy
Simmer the peel in a grapefruit juice and sugar syrup and make candied peel and grapefruit syrup. Use the syrup to sweeten drinks. I have seen it recommended by Binging With Babish to use citrus syrup in cocktails (in his Clementine Cake episode), but me personally I'd use it in tea - iced or not, syrup mixes in really quickly. The candied peel could be used as decorations on baked goods, or a mix-in, or just a snack to nibble on.
