Smalec przepis (Smalec Recipe) (Lard spread)

pork fat

🥗Healthier: chicken fat

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Chicken fat is lower in saturated fat and more affordable.

smoked bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: unsmoked bacon

Turkey bacon reduces fat content while maintaining flavor.

Start with 5 pounds of boneless pork belly and 1 pound of bacon.

Run the pork belly through a food processor to grind it up, leaving some chunks.

Heat the pork belly and bacon in a pot over medium heat for about 30 minutes until the fat renders.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of black pepper to the pot.

Add 6 diced onions and 8 cloves of garlic to the mixture and reduce heat to low.

Cook until the onions are soft and the mixture becomes liquidy.

Add 4 diced Granny Smith apples and 2 teaspoons of marjoram to the pot and mix well.

Cook until everything is combined and the meat is crisping up.

Let the mixture cool down before transferring it to jars.
