STOVE TOP-RENDERED LARD



Stove Top-Rendered Lard image

Waste not, want not! Homemade lard comes in handy in all kinds of recipes, including these Biscochitos. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 711.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 1 to 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 1

3 to 5 pounds chilled raw pork fat (preferably leaf lard from the kidney region)

Steps:

  • Working in batches, cut, grate, or grind fat into small pieces. If the fat begins to soften in your hands, return it to the refrigerator until firm.
  • Place ground fat in a heavy-bottomed pot set over very low heat. Add 1 cup water. Leave on stove until completely melted, 4 to 5 hours. As fat renders, crispy cracklings will form, rising to the surface of the bubbling fat. Use a slotted spoon to remove cracklings to a paper towel-lined plate. These are best eaten sprinkled with salt.
  • Strain rendered lard through a fine sieve and pour into jars. Lard may be stored at room temperature just like olive oil. It may also be stored in the refrigerator with no change to flavor or texture.

  • Place the fat in a large, heavy pot with 1 cup of water. Heat over a medium to low flame and cook slowly, stirring with a wooden spoon to avoid sticking and scorching. Try to push the raw fat under, so it can dissolve and doesn't start to spit as it crisps. Continue to render for 2 hours, until the fat pieces have shrunk to small toasty bits and sink to the bottom of the pot. The rendered fat should be clear yellow.
  • Let the lard cool and settle for 10 minutes, then strain through a sieve lined with 2 layers of cheesecloth. Cool for 1 hour, then pour into a heatproof glass container. Lard keeps for 3 months. Tightly cover in the refrigerator.
