Lard fell out of fashion when seed oils became cheap. It is coming back for good reason.
Fat from a pasture-raised pig that has roamed, rooted and eaten well is nutritionally and culinarily different to industrially produced lard. It renders into a clean, stable cooking fat with a high smoke point, a mild flavour and a richness that makes roasted vegetables, pastry and sauteed greens genuinely better.
Render it low and slow on the stovetop, strain through a fine sieve, and store in a jar in the fridge. It will keep for months and replace most of the oils in your kitchen.
