How to pickle lard at home, step-by-step recipe
1. Inspect the piece of lard selected for salting. If there are small stains, clean them with a knife. Lard can only be washed with water if it is heavily soiled.
2. Cut the lard into large rectangular pieces and make cuts on them to the skin.
3.Mix salt and pepper and add this mixture well to the lard, not forgetting the cuts.
4. Peel 6-7 cloves of garlic, cut them into pieces and sprinkle the lard with garlic.
5. Place the prepared pieces of lard in a saucepan or container.
6. Sprinkle the remaining salt on top.
7. Close the container with salted lard with a lid and leave on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 5-6 days.
Before eating, salted lard with garlic and pepper is cleared of excess salt, cut and served as a cold appetizer. A sandwich with salty homemade lard can also be a quick snack.
