Here are some creative ways to use pork fat in your next meal from McCullough Kelly-Willis, founder of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chicagomeatcollective">Chicago Meat Collective</a>, which is a hands-on meat school educating the community on nose-to-tail butchery. 🙌🏻 🤩<br /> <br /> • Pork fatback has a firmer texture than lard, making it ideal for recipes where the fat needs to stay cold and intact, such as with ground meat dishes like sausages, meatballs, terrines, and forcemeats.<br /> <br /> • Lard is another common pork fat that is rendered and strained before being sold in a tub or jar. It is solid at room temperature but soft and spreadable when tempered. The texture is similar to tallow or coconut oil. Lard is excellent for frying, making confit, and soap making.<br /> <br /> • Lardo is an Italian delicacy made from cured fatback. It can be quite expensive to buy, but it&#039;s easy to make at home if you can get a large enough slice of fatback. Lardo should be thinly sliced and can be used as a topping for bruschetta, draped over pizza, or substituted for pancetta in a pasta dish.<br /> <br /> • Lard can be cooled and reused for later dishes, as long as you strain any food debris from the pork fat before storing it to prevent spoilage. You can even use the same batch of lard multiple times for frying, although the quality will degrade over time.<br /> <br /> • Lard is considered the &quot;original shortening&quot; and is ideal for creating a very flaky pie crust or galette dough.<br /> <br /> • Lard is a great, authentic way to get supple tortillas and tender tamales.<br /> <br /> • Lard, unlike butter, lacks sugars and proteins, making it ideal for achieving a crispy-edged fried egg. For added flavor and texture, consider basting your fried egg with lard as it cooks.<br /> <br /> • Lard is an excellent fat for confit, which is a process of slowly cooking something in fat, usually as a means of preserving it. By sealing off oxygen exposure, confit foods can last for days, weeks, and even months, depending on the food.<br /> <br /> Get more of her genius #FatTips via &#064;sarah_angileri of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tastingtable">Tasting Table</a>:
