• - onion peel – 1 handful.

Cooking lard in the oven:

Rub a piece of lard (it is advisable to take it with slits in the meat, it will be tastier) thoroughly with salt on all sides.

Then grease it with spices - paprika, ground allspice and a mixture of spices for smoked meats and lard.

Peel the garlic cloves, squeeze them through a press and also grate the lard well on all sides.

Rinse the prunes, dry them and place them on top of the lard.

Place the lard itself in a baking sleeve, and place pre-washed and dried onion skins on top of the prunes.

Tie the bag tightly, place it on a baking sheet and leave to marinate for 1 - 2 hours so that the lard is well saturated with spices. Then place it in an oven preheated to 200 degrees and bake for 1 hour.

After the lard is cooked, be careful not to burn yourself, cut the sleeve, remove the onion skins and let the lard cool completely.

Cut the finished (cooled lard) smoked lard with prunes into pieces and serve.
