I just bought a jar of ghee at the Russian market. I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with it. Also, it was in a refrigerated section. I thought ghee did not need refrigeration. Due to my keeping kosher, I cannot use the ghee on any meat or poultry. But, surely vast expanses of ghee adventures await me.

Indian cooking relies on ghee quite heavily, and there's a lot of vegetarian cooking. Check out some Indian food websites or cookbooks, and you'll have a pretty good list to choose from.

[ETA]: Head over to BBC Food (http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/) and check out their recipe finder. You can search by ingredient, then tick "vegetarian" and you'll come up with some great stuff, like these mustard greens (http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/mustardgreens_5139.shtml) by Madhur Jaffrey that look pretty nice.

Also there's a lot of fish-orientated food from southern India in particular (fish+dairy is OK, right?)

Hehe. I was just coming back in here to ask about fish + dairy with keeping Kosher.

We use it in stove-popped popcorn. (During the popping.) It is soooo good.

Fish is pareve, so yes, it's ok.

Mix it with a big, cold, glass of Kraut Juice. Bottoms up!

Use it for dipping some nice crab legs (http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/Season7/Crab/Crabs.htm).

I don't know whether this is a joke or not.
