Some people consider lard to be a harmful product, so they try not to buy it at all.
But this is a misleading impression.
Of course, you shouldn't eat lard every day in large quantities: there will be little benefit from this. But a small amount of lard will definitely be beneficial. The most delicious lard will be the one that is cooked at home, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues at the BelNovosti online publication.
Therefore, it will be relevant to refresh some knowledge on this issue.
In order for the lard to be tasty, it should be immediately divided into portioned pieces of the appropriate size for salting. It is best to make pieces no more than 150 grams.
But you shouldn't cut less either.
After the product has been thoroughly washed, it is recommended to remove excess moisture with a paper towel before pickling.
Don't assume that any salt will do. The best option is objectively coarse salt: the lard will always turn out perfect.
