We thought you might enjoy a simple, yet delicious, recipe to try our new lard:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons C&F Farms lard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the lard over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic-lard mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the green beans are heated through and slightly crispy.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.

This one makes me so hungry! Serve this over some big egg noodles with a side of crusty bread…. or maybe just serve it entirely over a big hunk of crusty bread!
