Hi WW!

I rarely use salt at table or in cooking so, for me, I find these a bit salty. If you're like me, you may want to cut back a bit on your next batch.

I truly hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Also, they're wonderful with pasta and any kind of sauce!

Hi xbec

Re Salt I totally agree with you and that is one of the reasons I do not use pre prepared mixes as they seem to contain HUGE amounts of the stuff.

However in so saying as I sell to the pub / resturant trade and most people do seemingly have a love of the stuff I need to put some in. Also as I am not using any preservative salt does increase the shelf life.

Cheers and PLEASE keep the recipies copming. I should be making this one by the end of the week, regards WW

Re: Shelf life
About 3 - 4 days

At home, I've wrapped each in waxed paper and then freeze. When they're frozen, I vac-seal a number of them per bag. (The casing ends pop if you vac-seal before they're frozen.) Also, this particular recipe calls for frozen spinach so re-freezing is probably not a good idea. Our meat market has used fresh but I didn't get to taste those.

I don't know if that might help in your production/distribution ...

Best of luck!

Would you recommend that the ground chicken thighs include the skin?

[xbec]

Hi Mosler!

The ground chicken we use in our market is boneless skinless thighs and comes from the supplier already ground. Handy for us. Bear in mind, that our market is quite similar to http://www.harvest.coop/pages/stores/shopharv.html in Mass. In that setting, the skin wouldn't be included.

Thanks xbec

O, D-U-H! I didn't notice the typo in the ingredients list!

Edited to correct.

Thanks for the heads up, Mosler!
