Lard

Shkvarki

Shkvarki or vyzharki are small, heavily fried pieces of lard or fatty meat that are considered a Ukrainian delicacy along with salted lard, varenyky and borscht.

Homemade lard (melted pork lard)

Lard has been cooked in Ukrainian and Russian cuisine for a long time. Lard can be stored for a very long time, and it is used instead of vegetable or butter oil for frying, cooking dough, etc. Do not be frightened by the name, the process of cooking clarified butter is not labor-intensive, although it takes a long time.

Salted lard

It is very easy to pickle lard yourself, but its "maturation" requires time and patience. If you do everything right and wait for the right time, you will get very tasty and flavorful homemade salted lard - both a great appetizer and simply &quot&quot&quot" Ukrainian delicacy. The recipe is from "The Gastronome's Book of Meat" .

Garlic undercooking

Podcherevka (or podcherevok) is a part of pork carcass with lard and meat. It is one of the national Ukrainian dishes - tasty lard with veins of meat marinated with garlic. A great idea for an appetizer, sandwiches or an addition to borscht. True, it's not a very dietary food, but sometimes you can.

Sandwich lard with garlic.

Salo with garlic will go well with rye bread for real Ukrainian borscht or as an appetizer for a feast or just lunch. It will please lovers of lard and garlic. It is prepared quickly, but it turns out very tasty sandwich mass, which can be simply smeared on bread and eaten. I highly recommend giving it a try.
