Salting Pork Fat in Brine Using the Hot Method
Description
The appetizer is prepared quickly and simply. It should be noted right away that for 1 kg of salo you will need 5 tbsp. of salt. If you are making less or more of the appetizer, adjust the amount of salt accordingly. Store-bought seasoning for salo can be replaced with regular black pepper, coriander, bay leaf, and red pepper (or other spices). The finished appetizer is very tasty with black bread and fresh vegetables. Good luck. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
