How do you usually salt? Write your comments below the article.
I would like to note right away that it is better to take lard from the abdominal cavity or back, and so that there are layers of meat. And of course, if it is grown by farmers or a grandmother in the village, that is, your own homemade one, you will not find a tastier option for pickling. Because it will be without chemical additives and other nonsense and preservatives. And the skin will be soft and delicate, and also very thin, which will undoubtedly please you.
In onion skins
Lard boiled in onion peels is not only tasty, but also very beautiful, thanks to its golden hue. But so that the broth you use does not spoil your favorite pan, you should choose a vessel that is easy to clean.
Proportions of all necessary products for preparing delicious lard:
- 800 g lard with meat layer;
- 1500 ml filtered water;
- 15-20 g of onion peel (from about 7-8 medium onions);
- 225 g salt;
- 25-30 g garlic;
- 5 medium bay leaves;
- 5 peas of allspice;
- 3 g pepper mixture.
Sequence of actions:
- Bring the saline solution to a boil. Wash the onion peel thoroughly, place it in boiling water and boil for 5-7 minutes.
- Cut a piece of lard into three or four equal parts and place it in a saucepan with boiling husks. Boil for 10 minutes after boiling, and then keep in brine for another quarter of an hour, turning off the stove. Lard from the back, sides and belly is perfect for boiling, as it is softer, more tender and more pliable.
- Remove the lard from the pan and cool under pressure. Chop the garlic into small cubes, break the bay leaves, crush the allspice peas with the back of a knife.
- Mix all prepared spices. Make slits in the pieces of lard and rub them generously with spices so that they get into the slits. Wrap each piece in foil and place in the freezer. Serve the lard by cutting it into thin slices.
Boiled smoked lard
Everyone will agree that lard prepared with your own hands at home is not only much tastier than store-bought, but also healthier. Indeed, in this case, no flavor enhancers, stabilizers or other additives are used for cooking. Cooked-smoked lard is not only surprisingly tasty, but also looks beautiful.
To prepare you will need:
- kilogram of lard;
- water – 4 liters;
- salt – 100 gr.;
- laurel leaf;
- peppercorns;
- foil;
- metal container;
- fruit tree sawdust.
Cooking process:
- Put bay leaf, salt, pepper into the water and boil.
- Put lard there and boil for fifteen minutes. Remove the product from the pan and place it in a bowl or on a board until it cools.
- Take a dry metal container (you can use a cauldron or a saucepan with thick walls). Place sawdust on the bottom.
- Place some kind of lattice stand over the wood chips. Next you need to put foil and lard on it. Cover with a lid and place on very low heat. Smoke for 30-40 minutes.
- After this, the fire must be removed, the container must not be opened, but left as it is until it cools completely, about eight hours. Serve thinly sliced on a platter, you can garnish with herbs.
When smoking lard, it is very important that the lid fits tightly to the vessel. Smoke should not come out.
Cooking technology in a bag
Since the heat treatment of the product with this method of boiling occurs without access to water, its juices remain in the lard, and the spices give their full aroma to the dish. Depending on the thickness of the piece, the cooking time can take up to 4 hours, but the active actions of the housewife are reduced to a minimum.
What you will need during the preparation process:
- 400-500 g lard;
- 30 g garlic;
- a mixture of peppers and salt or ready-made lard seasoning;
- 3-4 bay leaves;
- two or three plastic bags or a baking sleeve.
How to cook lard in a bag:
- It is better to take lard in one piece, which should be washed well and dried with paper towels.
- Prepare a spicy rub for lard. To do this, press the garlic cloves through a press, combine with salt and powdered spices.
- Use the resulting rub to thoroughly coat the piece of lard on all sides. Additionally, you can make punctures in the lard in several places and stuff them with spices.
- Place bay leaves in a bag, lard on them, sprinkle the remaining spices on top and tie it tightly. To prevent water from getting into the bag of lard, you should use several layers, which should be placed in a baking sleeve.
- Fill a large enough saucepan with water, put lard in a bag so that it does not touch the bottom, and put on fire. After the water boils, cook the lard for 1.5-2 hours. Then remove from the stove and leave in water until completely cooled.
How to salt lard
At home, lard can be salted in three main ways:
- Just rub with salt. In the classic version, garlic and pepper are also added, which give the dish a spicy taste and aroma. Dry cooking is quick and easy. It is suitable for those who do not like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. But it is worth remembering that such lard can be stored for no more than a month.
- Place in brine . This is a more labor-intensive process: first, the brine is boiled, then lard is soaked in it, and then stuffed with spices. But the work will pay off in full: the product turns out to be very delicate and can be stored for about a year.
- Cook . Use this method if you doubt the quality of the product. Cooking will help get rid of most parasites and bacteria. In addition, such lard will turn out to be very soft and will be stored for up to six months. And if you cook it with onion skins, it will taste like smoked meat.
By the way, no matter what method you choose, you will need to store the finished lard in the freezer.
Boiled lard with garlic
Garlic and lard are a classic combination that is found in many dishes.
For this option, snacks you need to take:
- 500 g lard with meat layer;
- 1000 ml of drinking water;
- 100 ml table vinegar;
- 30 g salt;
- 3 bay leaves;
- 8 peas of allspice;
- 3 g ground black pepper.
Separately prepare garlic dressing from:
- 30 g garlic;
- 30 g ground black pepper;
- 30 g fine table salt.
Progress:
- Add spices, salt and vinegar to a bowl of water. Put on fire to boil. Divide the lard into three or four identical pieces, which are boiled for 45 minutes in a boiling marinade.
- Remove the finished lard from the brine and cool completely. Mix the garlic passed through a press with salt and pepper. Coat the cooled pieces with the resulting dressing, wrap them in cling film and put them in the refrigerator. The next day the product is absolutely ready for use.
How to salt lard quickly using a dry method
Today I told you that only coarse, non-iodized salt is suitable for salting lard. Forget about it if you want to enjoy salted lard sooner. Fine salt with iodine quickly salts the product. But such lard is not suitable for long-term storage.
1. This method is very simple. While the classic dry salting of lard involves large pieces, the express method involves cutting the lard immediately into thin pieces, as when serving.
2. Prepare a mixture of salt and favorite spices. Stir well. As spices, I often use freshly ground peppercorns, cloves, coriander, and dill seeds. You can’t do without black or red ground pepper.
3. Garlic with three graters or a fine press.
4. First, immerse each slice of lard and dip it into the dry mixture on all sides. We put them in a stack on top of each other immediately in the bag. Wrap tightly and leave for 3-5 hours in a warm place so that the lard seeps out a little.
5. Now remove excess salt from the pieces and rub them with garlic. Place in the refrigerator until it cools down.
That's all, lard can be served. This method is good when you are planning a feast the next day, but you haven’t had time to salt the lard. This way it also turns out very tasty. And most importantly, it is very simple. But this kind of lard is not suitable for long-term storage. Therefore, do not cook it a lot unless you eat it all at once.
In a slow cooker with spices
Thanks to the peculiarities of heat treatment, boiled lard in a slow cooker turns out incredibly tender. The final product can hardly be called boiled; it is more like stewed lard.
Of course, spices can be purchased in a ready-made mixture or assembled yourself:
- 500 g undercut or lard from the side;
- 70 ml cognac;
- 10 g garlic;
- 20 g salt;
- 5 g pepper mixture;
- 5 g paprika;
- 5 g dried tomatoes;
- 4 black currant leaves;
- 4 sprigs of parsley;
- 3 sprigs of cumin (coriander or fennel).
Sequence of processes:
- Rub a piece of lard with a mixture of peppers, salt, paprika and dried tomatoes. Place in a multicooker bowl and leave in a cool place for at least an hour.
- Next, return the multi-pan to its rightful place, pour cognac over the lard, sprinkle with chopped spicy herbs (currants, parsley, cumin). Close the lid tightly and cook for 40 minutes in the “Pilaf” or “Baking” mode.
- Rub the finished and completely cooled lard on all sides with chopped garlic.
