Lard in Onion Peel - Tips and Tricks
• If you pickle fat in the brine, and it starts to grow cloudy, then get down to business right away! Do not let the product disappear and fade. We take out the pieces, rinse, put in a saucepan, put 0.15-0.2 kg of salt, pour in a liter of water and boil for half an hour. You can add husks, any spices and herbs.
• Large pieces of bacon and those on which a lot of meat should be pierced in several places before cooking. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the inside of the product will not be prepared or will not be sufficiently salty.
• The fresh aroma of garlic is the most expressive and appetizing. Therefore, you can pack and freeze the welded, but not rubbed pieces of bacon. And before use, cover with garlic and other spices.
• If there is stubble left on the fat, then the pieces need to be burned well over a gas stove, a fire or just lit by newspapers. Then the carbon with bristles is scraped off with a sharp knife, and the product is washed. Another way to get rid of the bristles on the skin is impossible.
• Fat with layers is valued more than without them. But we must remember that it is stored worse. Therefore, if the product has a lot of meat, then you need to increase the time of cooking or immersion in the brine. Otherwise, the product will begin to fade inside the piece and disappear all.
