Salt Pork in Brine with Garlic

Description

A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Salo is very often baked in the oven in foil or in a roasting bag; it can also be cured in salt or in a marinade. If you want aromatic salo, add more spices to the brine: cloves, allspice, and bay leaf. Salo should be stored in the refrigerator, and for serving at the table, slice it into thin pieces. Serve the appetizer at the table.
