Sometimes salted lard turns out to be “rubbery” and tough.
And it depends on what part of the carcass it was in, as well as on the cooking technology.
Chef Yulia Arkhipova explained how to fix the situation and make lard soft.
Salted lard
The lard must first be cleaned of salt. Afterwards it must be stuffed with garlic and greased with spices.
For example, you can use a mixture of peppers for this. You will also need a special microwave pan.
Pour one hundred grams of water into it. Dip the lard into it, add spices and close the lid. You can add a bay leaf.
Then we put the pan in the microwave and turn it on for three minutes. The power should be set to 700 W.
Then open the lid and turn on the microwave for another 2 minutes. The result will be soft lard.
Fresh lard
This lard will take a little longer. We also salt it and add garlic and spices.
Again, you need to take the previously mentioned saucepan. Pour 100 grams of water into it and put in the lard.
Add bay leaf and close. Turn on the microwave for 5 minutes at the same power.
Then remove the lid and dry it for another 2 minutes. The power should remain the same.
Previously, we talked about what to do with eggs before boiling so that they cook faster and are easy to peel.
