Salo (Ukraine)
Serves 12
Ingredients
Method
1 kg. Pork Fatback, Skin On
4 tbsp. Coarse Salt
2 tbsp. Black Peppercorns
4 Garlic Cloves, Crushed
1 Fresh Dill
Rub the pork fatback all over with the crushed garlic.
In a bowl, combine the coarse salt and black peppercorns. Press this mixture into the fatback, ensuring it's well covered.
Place the fatback in a glass dish and cover it with fresh dill.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 week to cure. Flip the fatback daily to ensure even curing.
Slice the cured salo thinly and serve with rye bread, raw garlic, and pickles.
