Lamb Tallow is the oil extracted from the lamb fat. It is highly prized for it's high smoking point and rich nutrient profile. It is widely used in cooking, artisinal soap making and skin care.
It is used for deep frying and roasting Potatoes and different Vegetables to crisp and crunchy texture. It is used in Stews, Curries, for sauteeing, in broths and Pilafs. It is also used as a secret ingredient in the layering of the traditional Dessert Baklava.

Today I made this at home just like my grandmother did. It's a must try one for sure. After every Bakra Eid, this is what I do in my kitchen and render Lamb Tallow from scratch at home sweet home. It does turn out so good. The only thing to be taken care of is the slow cooking process on a low heat. Do not increase the heat. That's it.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
