Tender lard using the hot method

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 12 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the ingredients necessary for hot salting lard. The recipe uses lard seasoning without salt. If you use seasoning with salt, reduce the amount to 5 grams. Prepare the lard for salting, wash it well, if there are seals on the lard, scrape them off or cut them out. Cut the lard into 3 equal parts, put them in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the pan on the stove and boil the lard for 3 minutes. Turn off the lard and add salt. This is the secret of making lard. Previously, I cooked lard in brine, but after trying this recipe, I started boiling it in water, and then salted the water. Lard prepared in this way is much more tender than lard cooked in brine. Cover the pan with a lid and leave for 12 hours.

3. STEP 3

   

   After 12 hours, remove the lard from the brine and rub it with spices. To do this, pass the garlic through a press, mix it with lard seasoning,

4. STEP 4

   

   and rub the lard evenly on all sides. Wrap each piece in foil and place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. We chop the finished lard and enjoy the unique delicate taste.
