- Get a suitable pot ready for cooking. Add the washed onion skins and salt to it. Cover with water and boil for 15 minutes so the water takes on the color. Lay the salo into the water on top of the skins and cook over medium heat for another 15–30 minutes. If you like softer, more thoroughly cooked salo, cook it for 30–60 minutes. After cooking, leave the salo in the broth for another 4–8 hours, depending on how long you cooked it — the longer it cooked, the sooner you can take it out of the broth. So much so that if you cook the salo for about two hours, you don't need to leave it in the broth at all. Mix the spices with the crushed garlic and, after the steps above, pat the salo dry with napkins or a towel. Cut it into pieces convenient for storing and rub it on all sides with the spice-and-garlic mixture. Lightly cooked salo can be frozen and kept for a long time. Fully cooked salo can't be frozen — you only need to chill it before serving until it firms up and becomes dense. We usually make both versions in one go, since there's a lot of salo after a slaughter and it has to be prepared for storage. Enjoy your meal — dig in!
