Cooking with Lard

[kansashat]

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.
