Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make lard baked in the oven in a sleeve? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Any fresh lard will do. The main thing is that it is of high quality — the color should be uniform white or light pink, the smell should be neutral, the skin should be soft and without bristles. Choose spices that are suitable for meat, for example red, black, allspice or cloves, marjoram, thyme, cumin.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the lard well, dry with paper or cotton towels. Using a wide knife, carefully scrape the top layer from the entire surface of the lard. Pay special attention to the skin if you plan to eat it. Peel the garlic, rinse and cut each clove lengthwise into 2-3 pieces. With such cutting, it will be convenient to stuff them with lard.

Step 3

Step 3
Stuff the lard with garlic so that it is evenly saturated with the aroma of garlic. If you donʼt have a special scooping knife, you can use a knife with a long, sharp blade. Pierce the lard along the piece (so that when slicing, the garlic is cut crosswise) and move the pieces of garlic along the blade deeper into the piece of lard. The same can be done with peppercorns. If you donʼt want the peppers inside, set aside until step 5.

Step 4

Step 4
Rub the piece of lard well on all sides with salt, then with spices, leave to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes. You can marinate longer.

Step 5

Step 5
Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Place a piece of lard in a baking sleeve. If you have several pieces, you can bake them in one sleeve, the main thing is to arrange them in one layer. Place bay leaves and black peppercorns on top (if you didnʼt add lard to them).

Step 6

Step 6
Tie the sleeve on both sides, use a needle or toothpick to make a couple of small holes at the top of the sleeve. The holes are needed for steam to escape so that the sleeve does not burst during baking. Bake in the oven on the middle shelf at 180 degrees for 25-40 minutes. Cooking times are approximate. Read more about ovens at the end of the recipe. The more layers of meat there are in the lard, the longer it takes to cook. The finished lard will brown and darken.
