Step-by-step recipe for dry salting of lard with garlic and pepper

Salted lard is one of the foods that I almost always have in my refrigerator. From my childhood in Soviet times, I remember how large pieces of bacon sprinkled with black or red hot pepper were always adorned in grocery stores. My father always made this snack at home, choosing the freshest and most beautiful pieces of the product for salting.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of lard;
• 10 cloves of garlic;
• 2 bay leaves;
• 6 tsp salt;
• 4 tsp black peppercorns;
• 2–3 tsp ground paprika.

Preparation:

1. Prepare your ingredients.

   

   To prepare a wonderful snack, you will need a piece of fresh bacon and a few simple ingredients.

2. Put a piece of bacon on the work surface, make a shallow mesh on the surface of the product with a sharp knife. This is necessary in order for the lard to better absorb the taste and aroma of spices.

   

   Shallow cuts on the surface of the lard will help the product cook faster

3. Slice the fat lengthwise into 2 pieces.

4. Grind half of the black pepper in a mortar with bay leaf. Alternatively, the pepper can be grinded in an ordinary mill or coffee grinder, and the bay leaf can be finely chopped by hand.

   

   Spices can be ground with a mortar, grinder or coffee grinder

5. Chop the garlic with a press or grate on a fine grater.

   

   For chopping garlic, a press or grater with fine holes is suitable.

   Before you start salting lard, you need to mix the garlic and spices well.

7. Rub the pieces of bacon on all sides with the spicy mixture, wrap in parchment and leave at room temperature for 3-4 days.

   

   Lard should be grated with a fragrant mixture from all sides

8. Remove the product from the paper and use a knife to scrape off the layer of flavor mixture from it.
9. Grind another 2 tsp. peas of black pepper and sprinkle lard on all sides.

10. Cut into thin slices before serving.
