Lardons

[nicklord1]

Hello i was wondering if i could subtitute lardons for parma ham fat . I am making aan italian beef stew.

Thank you

Should be OK. It's for flavor and texture, any pork fat will do the trick.

Are you using bacon lardon or salt-pork lardon? Lardon is just the matchstich shaped cut, no?
