Hey fat is good for you! As soon as I figure a way to amass more of a fortune, I am going to find out where I can buy some LARD. NO, I am not kidding.....where do you think all that flavor went to? Whoo...ya!
I have also read more about deep-frying. Good oil, the right temperature....and do it fast to seal in the flavor and not let the fat be absorbed into the product. Just like Ma use to make.
After that, I am goin to wipe my chin on teh left sleeve, I am goin out into the back forty with da mules and plough the fields.
Yum manteca. I save all my pork fat cause pork fat is good fat. And I use it (mostly bacon) to flavor anything. I tsp on bacon fat is only 3 weight watcher points. So it is something I can have for flavor.
