Cooking with Lard

[Drphilwv]

Tamales made with good lard are the stuff. Use some pulled pork or even diced jalapenos as the filling. That is the best application. Tallow... oh boy. Yorkshire pudding made with tallow...

We recently bought a tortilla press. I plan to make homemade tortillas with Masa & lard. Mario has an intriguing recipe for homemade tacos made with skirt steak & homemade tortillas with a sauce made with dried chilis, serrano peppers, oranges, limes, cilantro, & onions, dressed with crumbled queso fresco.

I'm looking forward to it. Will try to report back our results.

Hey Alan - nice to see you still around. Hope you're well. Let us knew how it works.

My Dad was Jewish and made a killer chopped liver with Schmaltz - rendered chicken fat. Holy Crow was it good, on saltine crackers with a big bowl of chicken soup. I don't remember anything else he used it for, but it's in loads of Jewish and Eastern European recipes.

I know some wouldn't think of using anything else for a homemade pie, but my only experience with the stuff is for conditioning a felt honing wheel prior to applying sharpening compound.
