Pork Cracklings & Lard
October 13, 2024Pork cracklings are usually served cooled and are absolutely delicious! They can be used as snacks (eat them as snacks, like snacking on potato chips), appetizers, for making Pork Crackling sspread, or even for preparation of the best version of Slovak pastry called “Pagace”. They are made from pork back fat (read more about this ingredient below) that is rendered down in a particular but very easy way to delicious meaty like a treat. The delicious side effect of this effort is also perfect pork lard, which effortlessly appears at the end of cooking. Pork lard is perfect for many things, and it can also be used as a fine layer, like spread on bread sprinkled with finely chopped onion and salt. But the best usage is for cooking – it is a perfect fat for sauteing or frying thanks to its high smoking point. Another great option is to use it as a shortening in your baked goods. It is nutritiously very rich, and it gives your food a lovely flavor. With this recipe, you will get both pork rinds and lard with minimum effort.
