Method
- Cut the pork fat into squares.
- Place it in a pot, add salt to taste and cover with water.
- Simmer over low heat until the water is consumed, stirring frequently so they do not stick.
- When the water evaporates, let the chicharrones fry in the fat they release until they are golden and crispy.
- Remove the chicharrones and reserve the lard for other recipes.
