Salo Roll
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. You can make the lard roll in two ways: the first — lower the roll into a pot of water and simmer over low heat for 1.5 hours, loosely covered with a lid. Check doneness by piercing the roll with a fork. In this case, most of the fat renders out of the roll. It becomes less fatty and the flavor of the lard changes. The second way — wrap the roll tightly in a food bag and cook for the same one and a half hours. The roll turns out with a mild lard flavor. You can add spices to the pot (or into the bag with the roll) while cooking. Good luck, and the appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
