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.

Composition:

  • fresh pork lard

Preparing homemade lard:

Wash the fresh pork lard, dry it and cut it into pieces with a side of 2-3 cm.
If you want to get meat roasts or pork patties, use lard from the undercurrents with veins of meat.

All pork fat should be cut into slices with 2-3 cm sides.

Place the lard in a thick-walled pan (I use cast iron), cover with a lid and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Periodically stir the lard so that it melts out more evenly.
The time it will take to melt the lard depends on its quantity. On average, each kilogram of lard will take about an hour to melt.

When the lard pieces are almost dry, strain the melted lard through a sieve into a separate bowl, cool and store in the refrigerator.

You can change the composition of granola to suit you, I've added the goodies I love and the goodies I want to use but don't eat pure, like flax and pumpkin seeds. I use it very simply: pour it in yogurt or ryazhenka – and breakfast is ready! But you can also add it to cottage cheese, or sprinkle it on top of a pie, or even make a salad.
