Greaves lard, lard slice
This simple and inexpensive spread is made from lard, greaves and onions.
The so-called Grieben or in Bavaria also Grammeln are fried rest bacon parts. Also add diced onions. There are many variations for this recipe. Apple pieces together with marjoram and thyme can also add a special flavour.
Somewhat unusual, but very good is the Bratwurstgriebenschmalz, which is made from the fat of Thuringian grilled sausages.
