Peel and finely chop the onions.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium skillet, melt the pork lard over low to medium heat.
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté them gently for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking and mix well to avoid burning.
Sprinkle in the caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Once cooled, transfer the Zwiebelschmalz to a clean, resealable container such as a glass jar.
Optional: Garnish the surface with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
Allow the Zwiebelschmalz to solidify in the refrigerator before serving. It can be served chilled or at room temperature.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
