There are quite a few ways to prepare lard. I suggest you weld it in a bag. The cooked bacon prepared in this way turns out to be very tasty and aromatic.
It is necessary
- - lard with meat layer - 500 g;
- - salt;
- - ground black pepper;
- - garlic - 5-6 cloves;
- - ground paprika;
- - Provencal herbs.
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the bacon thoroughly first. Then let it dry completely, then make small cuts on it with a knife and stuff them with cloves of garlic chopped into thin slices. Next, rub it with salt, as well as ground paprika and pepper. Sprinkle lard with Provencal herbs on top, put it in the refrigerator. There it must be at least 1, 5-2 hours. This time will be enough to marinate it.
Step 2
After the time has elapsed, put the pickled bacon from the refrigerator, place it in a prepared plastic bag and tie it so that there is no air in it. Wrap it in 2 other bags in the same way.
Step 3
Place the pot filled with water on the stove. When the water boils in it, place the bacon laid in plastic bags in it. So lard should be cooked for 2-2, 5 hours, no less.
Step 4
Then remove the boiled bacon from the water and let it cool without removing it from the plastic bags, and put it in the refrigerator. There it must stay for a day. This is necessary for its better impregnation with spices and seasonings.
Step 5
Remove the finished dish from plastic bags. Boiled homemade lard is ready!
