Salo Cured in Onion Skins with Garlic

Incredibly tasty salo. Give it a try and treat your family! My grandfather loves all the different ways of preparing salo (cured pork fat). To make him happy, I found this recipe online and have already given it a go. After cooking, the salo takes on a golden color, smells appetizing, and has an unusual taste. Try it — it's worth it!

  • Make the brine. Pour the water into a pot, add the salt and sugar, and add the bay leaf, peppercorns, and allspice. Set it on the heat, bring to a boil, then boil for 3–4 minutes.
  • While the brine comes to a boil, work on the salo. Scrape the dark film off the skin with a knife. Then cut the piece into three.
  • Rinse the onion skins and put them into the hot brine (after it's been taken off the heat), then add the pieces of salo. Since the water needs to cover the salo completely, set a small weight on a lid smaller than the pot. Put it back on the heat, bring to a boil, and boil for 15 minutes.
  • Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for a day (at least 12 hours).
  • Take the salo out of the brine and pat it dry with paper towels. Peel the garlic, press it through a garlic press, then add the salt, sweet red pepper, and khmeli-suneli and mix. Rub this mixture generously over the salo on all sides.
  • At this point you can eat it right away or put it in the fridge for 12 hours.
  • Cut into thin slices and serve! Very tasty!
