Instructions

  1. 1 Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon calcium chloride in a small bowl; mix well.
  2. 2 Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon rennet in another small bowl; mix well.
  3. 3 Pour milk into a double boiler set over medium-low heat. Heat milk until it registers 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer. Sprinkle cheese culture on the surface. Allow to dissolve without stirring for a few minutes, then stir well. Cover and keep at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) for 1 hour.
  4. 4 Pour calcium chloride mixture into the milk; stir for 1 minute. Add rennet mixture; stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand at room temperature until milk sets into curd, about 1 hour. Press edge of the curd gently with a palette knife or the back of a spoon to check for firmness.
  5. 5 Cut curd all the way to the bottom of the pot into 1-inch squares. Stir gently with a rubber spatula. Let rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Stir curds, maintaining temperature at 86 degrees F (30 degrees C), until they sink to the bottom of the pot, about 20 minutes. Scoop out liquid (whey) with a ladle and discard or reserve for another use.
  7. 7 Line 2 basket-style molds with damp cheesecloth. Ladle curds into the molds with a slotted spoon and cover with ends of cheesecloth. Place one mold on top of the other, pressing lightly. Let drain, switching the molds and stirring curds a few times, until cheese is firm, at least 4 hours.
  8. 8 Mix 8 cups water, sea salt, 1 teaspoon calcium chloride, and white vinegar together in a large container to make brine. Submerge cheese in brine and let soak, at least 8 hours and up to 3 weeks.

Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, black pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, and vinegar together in a large bowl.
  2. 2 Make 2 slashes on the skin side down to the bone in the thigh section and 1 in the leg section of each leg quarter. This will help infuse pieces with marinade and allow faster cooking on the grill. Season both sides of chicken generously with kosher salt. Transfer to bowl with marinade and thoroughly coat all sides. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 4 to 12 hours.
  3. 3 Transfer chicken to paper-towel-lined sheet pan to drain slightly.
  4. 4 Place leg quarters on grill skin side down over semi-direct heat (avoid intense direct heat so chicken cooks evenly and skin doesn't burn). Cook 6 or 7 minutes. Turn chicken and cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Continue cooking and turning until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 8 to 10 more minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

  1. 1 Fill a large pot with at least 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce temperature to low. Look for the water to be ready when you see bubbles at the bottom of the pot; there should be no bubbles breaking the surface of the water.
  2. 2 Crack egg into a small mesh sieve and allow any loose egg whites to drain. Transfer egg to a small bowl or ramekin.
  3. 3 When water has reached the right temperature, stir in vinegar. Using a spoon, swirl water in the center of the pot into a vortex or whirlpool and carefully drop egg into the center. Cook until egg white is set, but yolk is still soft and runny, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
  4. 4 Use a slotted spoon to transfer poached egg to a paper towel to remove excess water.
