Fried lard in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry lard in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. For frying, you can use pure lard, but I prefer lard with a meat layer. Navigate according to your taste. To make the dish tender and soft, choose the brisket of a young pig. In order to be able to cut the lard into thin slices, it needs to be frozen a little. Peel the onion and rinse in cold running water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the lard with the layer into pieces and place in a well-heated frying pan with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Fry the lard over high heat on both sides until golden brown.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the lard is frying, cut the onion into half rings or slightly smaller. There is no need to grind it too much.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add chopped onion to the pan with the meat and stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Reduce the heat and fry everything together for 5-7 minutes. During this time, the onion will become softer and slightly golden. If the lard is still too hard, cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for another 10 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the finished fried lard with onions on plates and serve hot. Potato dishes, such as mashed potatoes, are perfect as a side dish. You can also fry lard on the grill. Bon appetit!

I fried lard only with eggs; we had such a dish in the nineties) You can say I was the first to learn how to cook this dish. But I haven’t tried it just like that as a snack, and to be honest, I was even surprised when I saw this recipe on the website. But I decided to taste it) I was just boiling lard with layers of meat and cutting off a few slices for frying. The lard very quickly acquired a golden brown crust, I turned the pieces over and immediately poured in the onion. By the way, you can take even more onions; they go well with lard. I didn't use any special spices, just freshly ground pepper. In total, the dish took 20 minutes to prepare. During this time, the meat was well fried, and quite a lot of fat was rendered from the lard. At first I didn’t know how to eat it) And then my husband came and made a sandwich with bread. So we decided that fried lard goes well with bread, both white and black) By the way, with bread it’s not very fatty. Fried lard with a meat layer is very tasty and aromatic. The author says correctly, it must be eaten hot, otherwise a whitish coating appears and the taste is lost. I was satisfied with the dish, I will use it)
