Hi! Do you have any recipes that you really prefer to make with lard? Would you share them with me? Right now I plan to make fried eggs and maybe a pie crust, but then what?
Seriously, Rotkohl (http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,red_cabbage,FF.html). (This recipe omits what, IMHO, is the most important step: Add the cabbage first, stir to make sure it is completely coated with the drippings, then add the other ingredients. If you don't do this, you'll have a big pot of pale pink mush. Also, I prefer to use a tablespoon or two of fruit preserves--redcurrant if you can get it--to sweeten the sauce rather than brown sugar. Add it at the end, once the cabbage is tender.)
And, of course, deep-frying. Even if you use something like peanut or corn oil for most of the fat, a tablespoon of lard (or suet or shmaltz) makes all the difference in taste.
