'''Lardon''' is a small strip or cube of fatty [[bacon]], or [[pork]] fat (usually subcutaneous fat) used in a wide variety of cuisines to flavor savory foods and salads. Originating from [[France]], lardons are not usually smoked, and they are made from pork that has been cured in salt.

== History ==

The term ''lardon'' originates from the French word ''lard'', meaning bacon. It has been a staple in French cuisine since the Middle Ages. Lardons are traditionally used in a variety of dishes, including [[Coq au Vin]], [[Quiche Lorraine]], and many types of [[salad]].

== Preparation and Use ==

Lardons are prepared by cutting the fatback or belly of the pig into small strips or cubes. The pork is then salt-cured, and can be used either raw or cooked. When used in recipes, lardons are often rendered to release their fat before combining with other ingredients. They are commonly used to add a rich, savory flavor and a crunchy texture to a variety of dishes.

In French cuisine, lardons are frequently used in the classic dish Coq au Vin, where they are browned and then cooked with chicken, red wine, mushrooms, and garlic. They are also a key ingredient in Quiche Lorraine, a savory pie made with a custard filling, cheese, and lardons.

In addition to their use in French cuisine, lardons are also used in other culinary traditions. For example, in Italian cuisine, they are often used in pasta dishes like [[Carbonara]].

== Variations ==

While lardons are traditionally made from pork, variations can be made using other types of meat, such as [[duck]] or [[turkey]]. These alternatives can provide different flavors and can be used in the same way as traditional pork lardons.
